What Should an Age Gate Give Your Store?
Age Check Before Access
Place a clear verification step between visitors and age-restricted areas of your store.
Flexible Verification Methods
Choose how much information visitors need to provide to enter your store.
Regional Settings
Non-essential trackers should follow the consent decision.
Clear Error Message
Control what visitors see when they do not meet your age requirement.
Remember Successful Verification
Avoid asking eligible visitors to verify their age on every page visit.
Ask for age verification with a simple on-brand pop up

Restrict Only The Needed Pages
Protect your full storefront or only the pages that contain age-restricted products or content. Apply your Age Gate precisely instead of unnecessarily blocking every visitor from every page.

Adapt the Experience by Location
Use one default minimum age and override it with regional rules where needed. International stores have control without requiring separate storefront implementations.
