Why Checkbox Age Gates Fail Compliance
Alcohol, tobacco, and vape merchants cannot rely on “I am 21” checkboxes:
- No identity proof — self-attestation is not verification
- State rules — age thresholds and flows vary
- Checkout leaks — restricted SKUs purchasable without checks
- Manual review burden — staff cannot ID every order
What This Extension Solves
