The compliance job your checkout should be doing
If you sell CBD, kratom, nicotine, hemp, supplements, or anything else with a patchwork of rules, the hard part is the same every day: some products cannot ship to some states, some have quantity limits, and some need an age check. RegGate holds all three at checkout, where it counts, so a restricted order cannot slip through.
- State and province restrictions. Choose the products that cannot ship to certain states or provinces, and RegGate blocks those orders at the destination they are headed to.
- Per-state quantity caps. Set how many units of a regulated product one order may ship to a given state, and RegGate holds the cap for that destination.
- Visible age confirmation. Ask shoppers to confirm they meet the age requirement before they can finish checkout, with a check they actually see.
Why merchants choose it
- It holds at checkout, not in the theme. The rules are enforced by Shopify’s own checkout, so editing the cart, pasting a checkout link, or a fast one-tap checkout cannot get around them.
- No popup, no performance hit. RegGate is not a storefront script bolted onto your theme, so it does not slow your pages down or drop your store’s speed score.
- It fails safe. If your rules are ever mid-update, RegGate holds checkout with a clear, temporary message rather than letting a restricted item through. A compliance gate should never fail quietly.
- Your checkout data stays in Shopify. The check runs inside Shopify’s checkout and cannot call out, so a shopper’s address, cart, and age confirmation are never sent to our servers to make the decision.
- Honest about what it does. RegGate enforces the rules you configure. It is not ID verification, and it is not legal advice. You decide the rules; RegGate holds them at checkout.
How it works
- Pick the regulated products and set their rules: which states or provinces they cannot ship to, any per-state quantity caps, and whether they need an age confirmation.
- RegGate enforces those rules inside Shopify checkout. Nothing is added to your theme.
- A shopper who is over a cap, shipping to a restricted state, or has not confirmed their age sees a clear message and cannot complete the order.
Built on Shopify’s own checkout: no theme edits, no scripts, and nothing a shopper can click past.
