Confirmation prompt

Ask a shopper to self-certify with a confirm button before they can access protected content.

Confirmation prompt shows a shopper a short statement and a confirm button — for example, "I confirm I am 18 or older." Clicking the button grants access. It's a self-certification, not a real identity check: the app has no way to verify that what the shopper is confirming is actually true, so use it for things like age or terms acknowledgements where you're relying on the shopper's honesty, not for anything that needs to be independently verified.

Like Subscribe, Passcode, and Secret link, Confirmation prompt is action-based — it doesn't have an If/Unless toggle, since the shopper unlocks the content by clicking Confirm rather than by matching a condition.

Add the rule

1. Open Locks and create a new lock, or open an existing one to edit it.

2. Choose the content you want to protect. See Access rules overview for how rules fit into a lock.

3. Click the Unlock rules tab, then in the Condition type dropdown, select Confirmation prompt.

Select Confirmation prompt from the Condition type dropdown on the Unlock rules tab.

1. Edit the prompt's content and button text if you want something more specific than the defaults (see below).

2. Turn on Remember confirmation for signed-in customers if you want signed-in shoppers to only have to confirm once (see the warning below before you do).

3. Optionally set a Grant access duration.

Configure the remember toggle and how long a confirmation lasts before the shopper has to confirm again.

1. Click Save.

Shopper-facing copy

By default, shoppers see:

• Notification: "Confirmation required" / "Please confirm that you meet the requirements to access this content."

• Button: "Confirm and continue."

Both the statement and the button text are editable per lock and per storefront language — for example, changing it to "I confirm I am 18 or older" for an age-restricted product. See Translate lock messages.

The shopper must confirm before the content unlocks.

Remember confirmation for signed-in customers

Remember confirmation for signed-in customers has no expiry. The confirmation is stored in local storage in the same browser, associated with that customer's ID. It ignores Grant access duration and remains until browser storage is cleared or you turn off the toggle and save the lock. It does not transfer to another browser or device.

If you'd rather have shoppers re-confirm periodically (for an age gate you want re-checked every so often, for instance), leave this toggle off and rely on the Grant access duration field instead.

Save

Once saved, the confirmation prompt appears whenever this rule is checked, and the app grants access as soon as the shopper clicks the confirm button.
