The Age Verification & Restricted-Product Gate is a build-to-order Shopify app that ECOSIRE designs, develops, installs, and supports for your specific store — it is not an instant App Store download. After purchase, our engineers configure the gate for your theme, catalog and the jurisdictions you sell into, then hand you a working, tested install.

The gate renders as a Shopify Theme App Extension (an app embed block), so it loads inside your Online Store 2.0 theme without us editing theme.liquid by hand and survives theme updates. A configurable age-gate popup enforces an 18+ or 21+ threshold in either date-of-birth or simple yes/no mode, with the visitor's pass state persisted so they are not re-prompted on every page.

Because not every product is restricted, gating is per-collection and per-product using Shopify metafields — tag a CBD or vape product and the gate triggers on its product and cart pages while the rest of your store stays frictionless. Geo-based rule sets let you apply different age thresholds or hard blocks by country and US state, useful when one SKU is legal in some regions and not others.

For stores that need more than a self-attested checkbox, we integrate a third-party document / ID verification provider (such as Veriff, Persona or AgeChecked) via their hosted flow and webhooks, so a verified result can gate checkout. The app authenticates through Shopify OAuth with least-privilege scopes and reads catalog data through the Admin GraphQL API.

You own the result. ECOSIRE handles the build, the install on your live or development store, and ongoing support — you tell us your products, thresholds and regions.
