Age-restricted products need a store built for the rules
Alcohol, hemp-derived CBD, and other age-restricted products come with age checks, state-by-state shipping rules, and payment and ad platforms that look closely. We build stores that stay open for business.
The problems we see most in this category
State shipping rules
Products that can ship to some states and not others, with no checkout logic to stop it.
Weak age checks
A simple age popup that does not hold up, and no verification at delivery.
Payment processor risk
Processors look closely at this category, and a careless store risks losing processing.
Ad and feed limits
Google Shopping and social ads restrict these products, so other channels must carry growth.
Lab results
CBD shoppers want certificates of analysis, and many stores bury them.
Club and subscription models
Wine clubs and refills with shipments that must follow state rules every time.

Alcohol, CBD & Age-Restricted questions
Can you tell us which states we can ship to?
No. That depends on your licenses and legal advice. Once you know, we enforce it at checkout so mistakes cannot happen.
Can we use Shopify Payments?
It depends on the product and your location. We set up the store to work with whichever processor approves you.
How do we grow if ads are limited?
Email and SMS, search, AI assistants, and affiliates. We make sure the store and tracking support each one.
