🛡️Checkout & ShippingPremium

Gate your checkout on compliance — before payment, not after.

Checkout compliance gates define rules that trigger a required acknowledgement modal before a shopper can pay. The shopper must tick one or more confirmation checkboxes — a dangerous-goods declaration, an age verification, a custom agreement — before the payment form activates. Reducing post-sale disputes and chargebacks starts here.

This is a Premium feature — available on the Growth ($129/mo) and Advanced ($349/mo) plans.

When to use this

Is this right for your store?

Use whenever a purchase requires informed consent before it proceeds — dangerous goods, age-restricted products (alcohol, tobacco, vaping, adult content), prescription requirements, professional-use-only items, products with specific storage or handling requirements. The gate is also the right tool for T&C acknowledgements on high-value bespoke orders.

How to set it up

Step-by-step guide

1

Go to Dashboard → Store → Compliance gates → New rule

2

Write the acknowledgement message (e.g. 'I confirm I am 18 years of age or older')

3

Assign the rule to a product category (all products in that category trigger the gate) or specific products

4

Save — the gate will trigger at checkout whenever a qualifying product is in the cart

5

Test the checkout by adding a qualifying product and confirming the modal appears before the payment fields


In practice

Real-world examples

Online alcohol retailer

Gate trigger: 'I confirm I am 18 years of age or older and will not supply alcohol to a minor.' Assigned to the 'Alcohol & Spirits' category. The gate fires on every checkout that contains an alcohol product — before credit card details are entered.

Dangerous goods chemical supplier

Two gates: (1) 'I confirm I am a licensed professional and will handle this product in accordance with all applicable regulations.' (2) 'I acknowledge this product must be transported by road freight only — no air delivery.' Both must be ticked before payment proceeds.


Pro tips

Get the most out of it

💡

Keep gate copy concise and unambiguous — long legal paragraphs get skimmed; a single clear sentence gets read and acknowledged.

💡

Don't gate everything — overuse of compliance modals creates cart abandonment. Only gate where genuine informed consent is legally or practically required.

💡

Pair with per-product disclaimers: the disclaimer informs on the product page; the gate confirms understanding at the payment moment.
