Per-country minimum ages

Legal drinking, vaping and purchase ages differ by country — 18 in France, 21 in the United States, 20 in Japan. With Pro you can set a minimum age per country instead of one global number.

How to configure it

1. On the app’s Home page, click Set ages per country.
2. In the Minimum age per country dialog, search for a country and type its age. Use Set all countries to + Update all to bulk-fill a value, then adjust the exceptions.
3. Click Done, then Save.

The Home page summarizes your setup (“N countries with a specific age”).

How a visitor’s country is determined

The gate reads the country from your storefront’s Shopify Markets localization context — the same mechanism that selects a visitor’s currency and pricing. No IP geolocation service is called, and no third-party request is made from your storefront.

• If the visitor’s country has an entry in your table, that age applies.
• Any country not in the table falls back to the default Minimum age.

Interaction with verification methods

• Date of birth — the entered date is checked against the country’s minimum age. A 19-year-old passes in France (18) and is declined in the United States (21) with the exact same birth date.
• Yes / No confirmation — the wording of your question doesn’t change per country by itself. If you use per-country ages with Yes/No mode, consider a neutral phrasing such as “I am of legal age in my country”, editable in the theme editor. With automatic translation enabled, the built-in texts already use neutral wording.

Good to know

• Country codes follow ISO 3166-1 (two letters); each country appears at most once in the table.
• Accepted ages are 1–129, same as the default minimum age.
• If Pro ends, the per-country table stops applying and every visitor gets the default minimum age again (Plans).
