How to add Age Verification to a CMS Max store

Embed Age Verification on CMS Max

01

Create a Age Verification add-on for CMS Max on Common Ninja

First, create a CMS Max Age Verification add-on on Common Ninja. On the add-ons catalog, find the Age Verification and enter the Editor.

02

Save the Age Verification add-on

When you're done creating the Age Verification add-on, click on the Save Changes button at the right top corner of the editor. If you don't have an account on Common Ninja, you'll have to register first.

03

Copy the Age Verification Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Age Verification add-on to your CMS Max store, click the Add To Website button at the top bar of the Editor. On the window that opens, click the Copy Icon to copy the add-on embed code. In the next steps, you will paste this code into your CMS Max store.

04

Paste the code to your CMS Max website’s HTML field.

Next, go to your CMS Max store editor and find the HTML field. It is most likely in the form of an HTML/Code widget or module which you can find on the CMS Max’s editor. Add it to your page, and paste the Age Verification Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s Age Verification add-on on your CMS Max store.

05

Alternative Method 1: Through the HTML option in the text’s editing area.

If you can't find the HTML/Code widget or module, there's another way to put Common Ninja’s Age Verification add-on on your CMS Max add-on. You can just add the code to a special HTML section in the text editor.

06

Alternative Method 2: Add it directly to your CMS Max store’s HTML code.

If you're having trouble finding a widget or a special part in your text editor where you can add the Embed Code, you can try a different way to add the Age Verification add-on to your CMS Max store. You can do this by putting it straight into your CMS Max store's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use the Age Verification widget when access to your content or products requires legal age confirmation. It prevents underage visitors from entering restricted areas and protects your business from compliance risks. This is essential for alcohol, vaping, gambling, adult content, and certain medical or regulated products. The popup establishes clear responsibility by asking users to confirm their age before proceeding. It can also reinforce trust by showing that your brand takes regulations seriously. With a simple, focused interaction, you avoid complex gatekeeping systems while still meeting legal expectations. Placing age verification at entry keeps the rest of the site clean and ensures that only appropriate audiences continue.
