Vape shop websites with age verification built into every step.
Vape and smoke shops sell an age-restricted product that most platforms won't touch and regulators watch closely. We build stores that verify age at checkout, handle pickup and shipping rules by destination, and stay inside ad-platform policies.
What we build for vape and smoke shops
- An age-gated storefront with real verification at checkout, not just a pop-up
- In-store pickup with an ID check workflow at the counter
- Payment processing from providers that accept the category
- A catalog synced to in-store inventory
- Google Business profile and local search set up within platform rules
Compliance features we build in
- Age verification at purchase, and at delivery when you ship
- State-by-state flavor and shipping restrictions enforced at checkout
- Processor and ad-network category restrictions checked before launch
- Accessible storefront and checkout (WCAG 2.1 AA)
We build the features that support your compliance program. Your license obligations, your counsel and your own policies decide the rules we configure. Nothing on this page is legal advice.
Marketing that doesn't get the account banned
Most ad platforms restrict vape and tobacco advertising. Instead of fighting that, we build what works inside the rules: local search, an accurate Google Business profile, email and text lists with proper consent, and in-store promotions customers can find online.
Handled for you after launch
Hosting, security updates, content changes, inventory, listings and ads stay with us on a monthly plan. You send a text or an email when something changes. You get a short report each month, not another dashboard to babysit.
How a build works
- Intake: you tell us what should exist when we're done. A technical lead replies within one business day.
- Embed: one of us comes to where the work happens and maps how it really runs.
- Build: weekly working builds you can tap on. Compliance requirements go into the spec on day one.
- Deploy: we launch, train your staff and watch the first weeks of real traffic ourselves.
- Hold the line: we keep running it on a monthly plan.
Pricing
Vape and smoke shop builds are quoted after a short call about your locations, catalog and whether you ship. A typical first deploy takes four to eight weeks.
Questions we get
- Isn't an age gate pop-up enough?
- A pop-up only asks. Verification checks. We add an age-verification service at checkout, and an ID check at pickup or delivery.
- Can we ship online orders?
- That depends on where the order is going. Shipping vape products brings federal and state requirements, and many shops start with online ordering and in-store pickup. We build whichever fits, and the store blocks destinations you can't ship to.
- Can you run Google or Meta ads for a vape shop?
- Those platforms restrict the category. We focus on organic local search, listings, email and text, and we keep any paid promotion inside each platform's current policy.
- Do you build for smoke shops and glass shops too?
- Yes. The same age checks, catalog sync and local search setup apply.
- Who keeps the inventory up to date?
- Either the catalog syncs from your POS, or we update it for you as part of the monthly plan.
