Quickstart

​
What it is

IDGate Pro is a Shopify embedded app that provides storefront age gating, government-ID and minimum-age verification before checkout, and POS ID verification. It runs as a standalone React Router 7 (framework mode) app.

​
App identity

  • Partner app name: IDGate Pro
  • Shopify API version: 2026-07

​
Scopes

The app requests the following access scopes declared in shopify.app.toml: read_customers, write_customers, read_products, write_products, read_metaobjects, write_metaobjects, read_metaobject_definitions, write_metaobject_definitions, read_markets

​
Extensions

The app ships three Shopify extensions:
  • Theme app extension (extensions/age-verification): two Liquid blocks — the all-plans age gate (age-gate.liquid) and the cart-page ID-verify interlock (cart-verify.liquid).
  • Checkout UI extension (extensions/checkout-age-gate): Shopify Plus checkout blocking backstop plus thank-you and customer-account order-status nudges.
  • POS UI extension (extensions/pos-age-verify): register tile, QR modal, and post-purchase account nudge.

​
Sign-in model

Admin authentication uses Shopify online sessions with authenticate.admin. Staff can review app state; only the Shopify account owner can change billing, compliance policy, integrations, or provider sessions. Storefront requests use HMAC-signed app proxy authentication.

​
Public integration points

  • App proxy: /apps/age-verification/* → /api/proxy/*, requires valid Shopify app-proxy HMAC signature.
  • Merchant REST API: GET /api/v1/verifications with bearer token authentication (Enterprise).
  • Webhooks: outbound signed event webhooks for Pro and API lifecycle webhooks for Enterprise.
  • Extension targets: theme app embed, checkout UI extension, POS UI extension.
