Age verification for vape, tobacco, alcohol and lottery sales: checks are manual

Stackably does not prompt for an age check or scan an ID at the register; staff verify age themselves. What the Contains Alcohol flag does and does not do.

Age verification on Stackably is manual. The terminal does not show an age-check prompt when an age-restricted product is rung up, and it does not scan or read a driver's licence. Staff check the customer's ID themselves, as they would at any register.

What the Contains Alcohol flag does

The Contains Alcohol switch on a Shop+ product marks the product as alcohol for reporting and for the online store. It does not add a prompt or a block at checkout.

Running an age-restricted store on Stackably

  • Train staff to check ID before completing the sale; the terminal will not stop a sale on its own.

  • Keep age-restricted products in their own category so they are easy to spot in the cart and in Product Mix reports.

  • If your state requires an electronic age check, Stackably is not currently a fit for that requirement; tell your representative so the need is recorded.
