What is AGE+?
AGE+ is an age verification app that displays a customizable popup to confirm visitors meet the minimum legal age before browsing or buying, with rules that adapt automatically to each visitor's country, US state and language. There's no Built for Shopify badge on the listing. It's developed by The Modern Apps.
How does the app work on a Shopify store?
Merchants set a minimum age per country or per US state, choosing 18, 21 or a custom value, and the app detects each visitor's location and language to show the right popup with the right threshold. A visitor in France and a visitor in Texas can therefore see different rules and different wording without any manual switching.
Verification can run in three ways: a simple Yes/No confirmation, a date of birth entry, or a checkbox in the cart or at checkout. Merchants also choose where the check applies, whether sitewide or only on specific pages, products or collections. The popup design is fully customizable without code, covering logo, colors, typography and background image, and the listing states setup takes under five minutes.
When a customer places an order, a timestamped verification proof is added to the order details automatically, so there's a record available if the store is ever inspected. A dashboard tracks popup views, verification rates, and breakdowns by country and device.
The admin is available in English, while the popup itself supports unlimited languages with automatic detection. It works with Checkout and sits in the Legal and Pop-ups categories.
Why choose AGE+ over another age verification app?
The core argument is geographic precision. Many age verification apps apply a single global threshold, which is a real problem for stores selling alcohol, CBD, vaping products or similar categories across borders, since the legal age differs between countries and, in the US, between states. Setting rules per country and per state, with the popup adapting automatically, handles that without running multiple apps or compromising on the strictest rule everywhere.
The timestamped proof attached to each order is the other meaningful differentiator. Most age gates simply block or allow access and leave nothing behind. A record tied to the order in Shopify is what a merchant actually needs when a regulator or payment provider asks how age was checked.
Pricing sits at the low end of the category. The free plan covers one popup, basic design, one language and one country rule, with app branding visible, which is enough for a single-market store with simple needs. Basic at $3.99/month, or $30/year, unlocks all three verification methods, full design customization, multi-country age rules and branding removal. Premium at $8.99/month, or $50/year, adds unlimited popups, a different popup per country and language, rules by region, rules by product and collection, and the automatic timestamped proof. Basic includes a 7-day free trial and Premium a 14-day trial. The annual pricing is notably aggressive, bringing Premium down to around $4 a month.
Two points to check before choosing a tier. First, the timestamped order proof, arguably the most useful compliance feature, is only on Premium. A merchant who installs Basic for multi-country rules won't get the audit trail, and if proof of verification is the reason you're installing the app, Premium is the real starting point. Second, product and collection-level rules are also Premium-only, which matters for mixed catalogs where only part of the range is age-restricted.
The broader caveat applies to the whole category. A popup based on Yes/No or date of birth entry is self-declaration, not identity verification. It demonstrates that the store asked, which is what many regulations and payment providers require, but it doesn't confirm the visitor's actual age. For categories where the law demands verified ID, a document or database check is needed on top. Merchants should confirm which standard applies to their products and markets.
What are the 3 main features of the app?
- Age rules per country and US state, with automatic location and language detection showing the correct popup to each visitor.
- Three verification methods, Yes/No, date of birth, or a cart or checkout checkbox, applied sitewide or by page, product and collection.
- Timestamped verification proof on every order, stored automatically in Shopify order details for inspection.
