How to Enable the Age Verifier in Shopify Force Theme
The age verifier is a native Force popup that requires a visitor to confirm their age before browsing — relevant for alcohol and similar age-restricted products across Force's food and drink category focus.
Steps
- In your Shopify admin, go to Online Store > Themes and click Customize on Force.
- Click Theme settings, then find the Age verifier (or similarly named) section.
- Turn it on, and set the minimum age and the messaging shown on the gate.
- Set what happens if a visitor declines — usually a redirect away from the store.
- Click Save.
A theme-level age gate is a UX layer, not legal compliance on its own — check what your specific product category and jurisdiction actually require, since some categories need more than a self-reported popup.
