I,m interested in opening an online alcohol shop to complement my physical liquor shop, can I do this on shopify
Topic summary
-
Main issue: Whether a physical liquor shop can add an online alcohol storefront using Shopify.
-
Latest update: A respondent confirms it is feasible, noting prior experience launching wine and spirits brands on Shopify.
-
Key requirement: Add an age verification popup that appears on page load to confirm visitors are of legal drinking age—18+ generally, 21+ if US-based (age-gate).
-
Scope limits: No other technical steps, platform restrictions, or compliance details (e.g., licensing, shipping rules) were discussed; no specific apps or integrations were recommended.
-
Outcome/status: Clear “yes” to feasibility with one concrete action item (implement age verification popup). No disagreement surfaced. Some regulatory considerations remain unaddressed in the thread.
Hi Paul,
You absolutely can. We worked with wine and spirit brands in the past and the only thing to keep in mind is to have a popup on page load asking whether the visitor is 18 or above (21 if US based).
Hope this helped.
Best,
Flo
