Does the Dawn Theme offer an age verifier?

[CCFL]

Hello:

I'm  currently using the Dawn theme and wanted to see if the 2.0 version (not sure if I already have this) offers an age verifier? I really like the minimalist style of Dawn but need an age verifier for my already established store. 

Best,

Chris

Hi @CCFL ,

Thank you so much for reaching out with your question. I'm here to help! By default, the Dawn theme doesn't have the option you're looking for, but don't worry, it can still be customized to meet your needs. One way to achieve this is by adding an "age gate," which is a full screen pop-up that visitors can only close after verifying their age.

I've found a tutorial that will guide you through adding an age gate to your store. It's important to note that this tutorial is considered advanced and is not officially supported by Shopify. You'll need some knowledge of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Liquid to follow the steps. If you're not comfortable with these technical aspects, I recommend considering hiring a Shopify Expert who can assist you. Also, before making any changes, it's always a good idea to create a backup copy of your theme, just in case you need to start fresh. You can find instructions on how to make a backup copy here.

Alternatively, we have third party apps available in our Shopify App Store that offer the age verification feature you're looking for. Here are a couple of apps you can explore:

Age Checker/Age Verification: This app has a free plan and boasts a fantastic review rating of 4.9. It's easy to install and the free plan should cover your needs for adding age verification to your website. It also allows you to insert an age checkbox on the checkout page to comply with government requirements.

Age Check: This app doesn't have a free plan, but it's priced at $4.95 per month and 7 day free trial. It offers full customization options for text, colors, and background images, so you can match the look and feel of your store. It's also optimized for mobile devices.

Hopefully, this helps in any way!

Thank you Iris! I used one of the apps you provided and that worked. But now I have a different problem:

This new Shopify footer bar appeared and I can not figure out how to remove it.
