Shopify Age Verification Apps: A Straight Answer
Age verification matters for stores selling alcohol, vaping products, certain supplements or other age-restricted goods. A verification gate asks visitors to confirm they meet the minimum age before entering or completing a purchase, which is often a legal obligation.
IncomeHero does not yet include a dedicated age verification app, and on a compliance topic we will say that clearly rather than imply coverage we do not have. Here is where the growing library stands and what it does cover today.
Why age verification is a compliance matter
For age-restricted categories, an age gate is not a nice-to-have. Regulators and payment providers often expect a verification step, and getting it wrong can carry real consequences, so it should be handled by a purpose-built tool.
We are not going to claim an age verification feature we have not built. A dedicated age gate is a focused, important addition the library can make over time, and we will only describe it as available once it actually ships.
What the library covers for restricted-product stores
While the age gate itself is not yet included, IncomeHero handles plenty of what an age-restricted store still needs to run well. TrustHero adds payment and security badges that reassure cautious buyers, and InvoiceHero produces tax-compliant invoices for every order.
These come with every plan, from $49/mo Sidekick to $99/mo Hero and $199/mo Legend. Bundling the apps we do cover frees up budget you currently spend on standalone tools, including a dedicated age verification solution where your products require one.
An honest roadmap commitment
On anything legal, overstating capability is the wrong move. If you sell age-restricted products now, use a purpose-built verification tool and treat our roadmap as a future convenience, not a present guarantee.
Every IncomeHero plan includes new apps as they launch, and the Legend plan at $199/mo covers all future apps automatically. If age verification joins the library later, customers on that plan will not pay extra for it.
