The Evolving Retail Climate

New research shows that 85,000 retailers launched online during lockdown, representing the biggest shift to ecommerce the UK has ever seen. For retailers selling age restricted goods, this move online poses new regulatory and customer service challenges around age verification. On one hand, retailers needed to obey the law while on the other hand, they needed to avoid losing conversions with tedious age verification processes.

How Does The AgeChecked App Help?

The AgeChecked app for Shopify enables you to quickly and easily verify your customers age before selling age restricted products such as:

  • Alcohol

  • Vaping products

  • Knives, sharp garden tools and corrosive materials

  • Any other goods, services or content that are age restricted.

Built by blubolt using the power of AgeChecked, the app is:

1. Regulatory compliant and secureYou can do away with annoying pop-up windows and clunky forms! The app verifies the customer’s age behind the scenes after the order is placed.

2. Seamless to set-upYou can simply download the app and start using it. You don’t need to change your storefront or add any code.
