Need to verify your visitors’ age before they enter your store? The SJ Age Verification Popup makes it simple. It displays a customizable message asking users to confirm their age before accessing your site, perfect for stores selling age-restricted products like alcohol, vaping accessories, or adult goods.

Our Sections Jungle app is approved by Shopify and safely integrates this popup directly into your theme. It runs natively without slowing down your store, and setup takes just a few minutes. The app also includes a variety of other useful sections designed to help you enhance your storefront easily and efficiently.

Step 1: Install the App

Start by installing the Sections Jungle app below for this Section and many more:

Use the search bar to find the Age Verification Popup section, click Install then select the theme where you want the popup to appear. After installation, open your Customize page to begin setup.


Step 2: Add the SJ Age Verification Popup Section

Inside the Theme Editor, open the page where you want the popup enabled. Click Add section on the left-hand menu and search for SJ Age Verification Popup.

Once added, the popup will automatically appear when a visitor lands on your store. You can now set your age confirmation message and buttons.


Step 3: Basic Setup & Default Preset

In this step, you’ll set up the essentials: the title, subtitle, and the button texts for “Accept” and “Deny.” You can also add a redirect link for visitors who click “Deny.”

Once you enable the popup, it’s ready to work right away: the default preset comes with clean, modern styling and balanced colors, so you can start using it immediately even before making deeper design changes.

Visitors who confirm their age will continue browsing normally, and those who deny access will be redirected to your chosen link.


Step 4: Advanced Customization Options (Optional)

When you’re ready to match the popup to your brand, open the size and color controls. You can fine-tune font sizes for both desktop and mobile, adjust the background overlay transparency, and style each button individually including their text, background, and border colors.

Whether you prefer a minimal look or something bold and branded, you have full control over every visual detail. All changes update instantly in the live preview so you can perfect your design quickly.


Keep Your Store Compliant

The SJ Age Verification Popup helps ensure your Shopify store meets age-gate requirements while maintaining a smooth, professional browsing experience. It remembers users who accept, so returning visitors won’t see the popup again unless they use private browsing.
