Installation

Age Shield installs from the Shopify App Store with one click. After install, you'll add the block to your theme and create your first verification rule.

1

Open your Shopify admin

Log in to your Shopify Admin panel and head to Apps → App and sales channel settings.

2

Search and install

Search for Age Shield and click Install. You can also reach us via the direct App Store link.

3

Confirm access permissions

Approve access so Age Shield can read your storefront pages and theme blocks. We never read customer PII.

Heads up Age Shield does not need access to orders, customers, or fulfillment. If permissions ever request these scopes, please contact support.

Add to theme

  1. 01 Click on Online Store
  2. 02 Select your theme and click Customize
  3. 03 Go to Footer → Add block → Age Shield Block
  4. 04 Click Save

Create your first rule

Rules control when Age Shield triggers. Each rule has a title, age threshold, and an optional set of pages/products it applies to.

JS
const rule = {
  title: 'Spirits collection · 21+',
  minAge: 21,
  collections: ['spirits'],
  display: 'modal',
};
Don't forget After creating a rule you must hit Submit in the popup editor. Saving the rule alone won't activate it on the storefront.
