Quick start
Get your first age verification popup live in just a few minutes! This guide walks you through the essential steps — from installing the app to activating your first campaign.
Install the app
Head to the Shopify App Store and search for "SUN Age Verification Popup". Click Install and review the permissions. Once approved, you'll be redirected to the app dashboard.
Enable the app
Click the Enable button on your dashboard to activate the app on your storefront. Make sure to hit Save after enabling.
Create your first campaign
Click Create campaign and select the Age Verification template. You'll be asked to choose a verification method:
- No input (Yes/No button) — Customers simply click a button to confirm their age. This is the fastest, lowest-friction option and works great for most stores.
- Birthday entry — Customers enter their date of birth. This provides stricter validation and higher compliance.
Set the minimum required age (e.g., 18 or 21).
Customize the design
Head to the Style tab to match the popup with your brand. You can adjust:
- Overlay, background, text, border, and error message colors
- Border radius and width
- Submit and Cancel button styling
Use the live preview panel to see your changes in real time on both desktop and mobile.
Edit the content
Switch to the Content tab to personalize the popup messaging:
- Heading — e.g., "WELCOME TO OUR STORE"
- Subheading — e.g., "You must be at least
{verify_age}years old to visit this site" - Violation message — shown when a customer fails verification
- Button text — e.g., "Confirm" / "Cancel"
The {verify_age} variable automatically displays the age you set in the General tab — no need to update it manually!
Activate and test
Save your campaign and set the status to Active on the Campaigns page. Then open your store in an incognito window to verify the popup displays correctly.
Make sure to test:
- ✅ Popup appears on page load
- ✅ Confirm button grants access
- ✅ Cancel button blocks access
- ✅ Looks good on both desktop and mobile
That's it — you're all set! For more detailed options, head to the Campaigns section to learn about all available settings.
