Shopify App · EU Digital Identity Wallet

Age verification that respects privacy.

Customers prove they are 18+ using their EU Digital Identity Wallet. One tap, no personal data collected, no friction. Compliant with EU regulations from day one.

Age verification is broken

Selling age-restricted products online means navigating regulations, frustrated customers, and clunky verification flows.

Privacy concerns

Existing solutions ask customers to upload ID documents or selfies — collecting far more personal data than necessary. Customers abandon their cart.

Regulation pressure

The EU is tightening age verification requirements for alcohol, tobacco, vapes, and more. Self-declared age checkboxes no longer cut it.

Conversion loss

Clunky third-party verification flows break the checkout experience. Every redirect, every form field, every upload is a lost sale.

One tap. Verified. No data collected.

The EU Digital Identity Wallet lets customers prove they are over 18 without revealing their name, birthdate, or any other personal information.

For your customers

  • Open wallet, confirm with Face ID or fingerprint — done
  • No ID uploads, no selfies, no account creation
  • Only shares a single fact: age_over_18 = yes
  • Works on any smartphone with an EU Digital Identity Wallet
  • Same experience across every store that uses the app

For your store

  • Install from the Shopify App Store — no coding required
  • Verification widget appears on product pages or at checkout
  • Cryptographic proof of age — not a self-declaration checkbox
  • No personal data to store, no GDPR liability
  • Full analytics dashboard: verification rates, trends, conversion

How it works

1

Customer visits your store

They browse to an age-restricted product. Your store shows the age verification prompt — seamlessly embedded in the page.

2

Wallet opens

The customer taps 'Verify Age' and their EU Digital Identity Wallet opens. They see exactly what's being requested: proof of being 18+.

3

One tap to confirm

The customer authorizes with Face ID, fingerprint, or PIN. Their wallet sends a cryptographic proof — just the boolean, nothing else.

4

Verified, continue shopping

The proof is verified in milliseconds. The customer continues to checkout without interruption. No accounts, no redirects, no waiting.
