A Shopify age verification popup is a simple way to grant shoppers access to your store based on age. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are making your store accessible<\/a> to certain countries, this becomes essential to abide by their laws. Learn here the direct steps on how to add age verification to Shopify without any complications.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Does Age Verification Popup Work in Shopify?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An age verification popup on Shopify appears when the user visits your site for the first time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Something like this:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Shopify<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
    \n
  • When they select Yes, then they can explore your site <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • When they select No, they are redirected back to Google.com<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    When the users accept they are above the needed age limit, the age verification popup will not appear during the entire session. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How to Add Age Verification to Shopify?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Step 1: Head to Theme Editor  <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    From your Shopify admin panel, head to Online Store > Themes.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"Head<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    Click on the three dots and open the Edit code<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"Click<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    Step 2: Add the Age Verification Code<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Open the theme.liquid file and add the following age verification code before the closing <\/body> tag. You can modify the content and text as per your preferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
