Can I create an age verification requiring email and birthdate entry?

Shopify Apps

Topic summary

A merchant seeks an age verification solution that collects both email addresses and birthdates in a single interface, rather than just social media logins.

Recommended App Options:

  • Age Verify with Email Capture - combines age verification with newsletter signup
  • 18 Plus Age Verification Popup, Age Check + Age Verification, and Age Verification Pro - allow manual birthdate entry
  • Real ID and Token of Trust - provide actual ID verification (not just self-reported age gating)

Key Distinctions:

  • Age gating = self-reported birthdate popups
  • Age verification = actual ID document validation against commercial databases

With new US PACT Act regulations (effective March 29) for vapor-related products, simple age gating may no longer be sufficient—proper ID verification is increasingly necessary.

Custom Development Option:
If existing apps don’t meet specific requirements, Shopify Experts can build custom integrations. One user notes they created a custom solution syncing a Klaviyo embedded form with a WordPress age gate, though Shopify code restrictions may limit similar implementations.

Token of Trust uses low-friction database checks at checkout, falling back to ID capture if needed to minimize conversion impact.

Hey there - circling back on this thread - I’m looking to accomplish the same thing.

Serve an age gate that also collects email all in the same frame.

Does anyone know an app that can do that in shopify

This example is a custom age gate that we built to sync a Klaviyo embed form on custom WP age gate

But shopify has code restrictions preventing this same type of setup - so looking to see if there are other apps that will do this

Thanks
