Rules-enforcement layer for Shopify

Product page. Cart. Checkout.
Your rules enforce every layer.

Not a popup. Not a checkbox. GateSavvy runs the rules you set at three layers — product page, cart, and checkout — and writes a signed receipt for every call. You set the rules. We enforce them. You keep the proof.

How it works


The process

Three steps to controlled commerce

1

Connect

Request access at hello@gatesavvy.com. We're in private beta with a small group of design partners. Once you're in, we sync your product catalog and your existing Shopify product tags become the inputs your rules target — no re-tagging.

2

Configure

Define your compliance rules. Set age thresholds per product, restrict shipping zones by state, block categories by region. Combine conditions with AND / OR / NOT — build the rule your business needs. Every change is simulated and versioned before it goes live.

3

Enforce

Every storefront request runs against the rules you set, before your store has to deal with it. Blocked customers get a clear reason. You get a signed log of every decision — what was blocked, which rule, and what your policy said at the time. When something needs your attention — a spike in blocks, a rule failure, unusual traffic — you get an alert. The full log is one click away.

Features


What we enforce

Compliance that covers every state, every age, every category

01

State-by-state rules

Every U.S. state has different restricted product laws. Configure your rules state-by-state — age thresholds, shipping zones, product categories. GateSavvy runs the rules you set before your store loads a page — and before checkout.

02

Age verification

Choose your verification method per product category — DOB, checkbox, or third-party KYC. Set the threshold. GateSavvy enforces it per jurisdiction. Verified customers browse freely. Unverified customers see the storefront as you've configured it for them.

03

Category enforcement

Alcohol, tobacco, CBD, vape, supplements — each category ships with starter rules you can override per state, per product, per threshold. Map your catalog to the rules you set. GateSavvy blocks restricted line items at checkout based on your configuration.

FAQ


Common questions

Frequently asked

What types of restricted products does GateSavvy support?

Alcohol, tobacco, vape, CBD, hemp, supplements, and other age- or jurisdiction-restricted products. (Firearms and ammunition aren't on the roadmap yet.) Each category ships with starter rules you can override per state, per product, per threshold.

Will it slow down my store?

No. GateSavvy runs the rules check before your store loads a page. Your customers see no difference. Restricted requests get a clear reason and are stopped before checkout — nothing slips through to payment unless it should.

Do I need to change my Shopify theme?

No. GateSavvy doesn't touch your theme. It runs before your store does. Add a branded screen as an optional overlay if you want customers to see a reason; run it invisible if you don't. Your theme stays exactly as it is.

How do you handle changing regulations?

We surface legislative updates from public sources we monitor. You decide what changes, when, and whether to publish. Every rule version is dated and attributable — your auditor will see the change history the same way you do.

What happens when an order is blocked?

The customer sees a configurable screen with the reason. You get a signed entry in the log — what was blocked, which rule, and what your policy said at the time. When something needs your attention (a spike in blocks, a rule failure, unusual traffic), you get an alert. The full log is one click away — export to CSV or PDF for your attorney or your platform review.

Can I customize the compliance rules?

Yes. GateSavvy ships with starter rules for every state and category. You can override any rule, set custom age thresholds, restrict shipping zones, and configure product-level exceptions. Every change is versioned and auditable.

Who is responsible for setting the right compliance rules?

You are. GateSavvy is a rules-enforcement tool — you decide what rules to configure for your products, regions, and customer types. We recommend consulting legal counsel to ensure your rules match your regulatory obligations.
