If you just started an online store and are looking for apps that help you with compliance, then you’re at the right place. In this post, we share our recommended apps based on our experience with merchants.
But, the basics first.
What are compliance apps?
They’re tools that help online store owners follow regional and international legal regulations. These apps automate tasks like adding cookie consent banners, managing data privacy requests, meeting web accessibility rules (ADA/WCAG), and displaying mandatory local consumer pricing or safety details.
Best Shopify compliance apps by category
Depending on your region and business category, you may be required to comply with multiple regulations. Therefore, we categorize this Shopify compliance app list by each category.
Nutrition labelling (for food & supplement stores)
If you’re selling nutrition supplements or food items, you should nutrition facts on the product pages in a legally compliant format. This helps you comply with local regulations as well as build trust among the health-conscious customers.
The KL – Nutrition Facts Label app helps you easily add compliant nutrition and supplement facts labels to product pages. In three easy steps, you can create and assign labels to the products in your store. The app supports various label formats.
Key features:
- Legally compliant labels for US, UK, CA, AUNZ, and other regions
- HTML-based labels that are optimized for SEO
- Display labels on product pages and anywhere in the store
- Quick 24-hour support time for bulk imports and customizations
- No limits on the number of labels or products
Pricing: $4.99/mo (free trial available)
GDPR/cookies (for stores selling to EU region)
The EU requires websites to collect explicit consent from visitors before dropping tracking cookies on their browsers. Furthermore, with the phasing out of third-party cookies, failing to manage consent properly will break your Google Analytics tracking and ad performance.
The Axeptio: GDPR/CCPA Compliance app moves away from clunky, generic popups. Instead, it provides a premium, fully branded consent experience that merges compliance with marketing moments. Crucially, it features native Google Consent Mode v2 integration, ensuring your GA4 and ad pixels remain accurate without violating privacy laws.
Key features:
- Native Google Consent Mode v2 and IAB TCF support to keep ad tracking compliant.
- Built-in cookie scanner that reveals all cookies on your store with auto-generated reports.
- A/B testing and “Consent Walls” to maximize opt-in rates without being intrusive.
- Mobile-ready, SEO-friendly, and connects seamlessly with tools like GA4 and Matomo.
Pricing: Free plan for up to 200 visitors/mo; Paid plans start at $29/mo based on pageviews.
EU GPSR (for showing manufacturer info)
The EU General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) is a massive new compliance requirement taking full effect in 2026. It mandates that all products sold to EU consumers must clearly display the manufacturer’s details, responsible person, importer info, safety warnings, and hazard pictograms.
The Meetanshi EU GPSR Compliance app is built specifically to solve this. It creates a clean, professional block on your product pages to showcase all mandatory safety and traceability data (like batch numbers). Best of all, it includes a bulk-update grid and CSV upload feature, making it easy to update hundreds of products at once.
Key features:
- Displays manufacturer, responsible person, and importer info in a dedicated widget.
- Complete GHS Hazard/Safety Statements and CE marketing support.
- Bulk assign entities to products via grid or CSV upload.
- Real-time compliance health monitoring dashboard.
- Smart geolocation: Automatically hides the GPSR widget for non-EU countries to avoid cluttering the store.
Pricing: $9.99/mo (or $99/year saving 17%).
EU withdrawal
Under the updated EU Directive 2023/2673, online shops are now required to provide an electronic withdrawal button with a specific two-step confirmation flow. Simply having a “Contact us to return” policy is no longer enough.
The Revoq ‑ EU Withdrawal Button app handles this perfectly. Built in Germany (ensuring strict GDPR-compliant data hosting), it adds the legally required two-step form directly to your store. Customers don’t even need to log in; the app automatically matches their withdrawal request to their Shopify order, checks the legal deadline, and sends a confirmation email.
Key features:
- Fully compliant with EU Directive 2023/2673 two-step withdrawal flow.
- No customer login required; automatic order matching and deadline checking.
- Translated into all 24 EU languages for international shops.
- Structured dashboard with status workflows, tagging, and PDF evidence packs for internal records.
Pricing: Free plan available; Essential plan at $9/mo; Professional plan at $25/mo.
Age verification and restrictions
If you sell age-restricted products like alcohol, vaping supplies, or CBD, you must verify the age of your visitors before they can view your products.
The Age Verification & Age Gate 18 app provides a lightweight, fast-loading widget to safeguard your store. Instead of complex database checks, it uses customizable birth-date popups to ensure legal compliance. It offers various templates that can be styled to match your brand, ensuring the age restriction screen doesn’t ruin the shopping experience.
Key features:
- Fully customizable age popup templates with custom logo uploads.
- Set minimum age requirements (18+, 21+) using Date of Birth verification.
- Lightweight widget that looks good on all screen resolutions (mobile-friendly).
- Simple, fast setup to get your store legally protected in minutes.
Pricing: Free plan available.
Accessibility
Web accessibility is no longer optional. With the European Accessibility Act (EAA) taking effect in 2025/2026, and ongoing ADA lawsuits in the US, your store must be navigable by screen readers and usable by people with disabilities.
The ADA Accessibility Widget by AP goes beyond a simple toolbar. It offers AI-powered alt-text generation for your images, automated full-site audits, and real-time accessibility issue fixes to meet WCAG 2.2 AA, ADA, AODA, and EAA standards.
Key features:
- Automated accessibility monitoring with real-time alerts and compliance score tracking.
- AI-powered alt text generation for product images.
- 40+ accessibility adjustment tools for users (contrast, text size, etc.).
- Pro plans include litigation support, custom coding fixes, and scheduled audit reports.
Pricing: Free plan for up to 5,000 impressions; Growth plan at $4.99/mo; Standard at $9/mo.
Product warnings/disclosures
Certain products require mandatory safety disclosures based on local laws. For example, products sold in California may require a Prop 65 warning, while specific chemicals might need hazard notices in the EU.
The PBC ‑ Product Warnings app allows you to create highly targeted warnings using text, pop-ups, images, or custom HTML. Its standout feature is geolocation and customer-tag targeting—you can set a rule so that a specific legal warning only pops up for customers located in a specific country or region.
Key features:
- Show or hide warnings based on the customer’s country (geolocation).
- Target specific customer tags or apply warnings to entire collections at once.
- Create warnings in multiple formats (text, image, HTML pop-up).
- Easily translate warning text to match the customer’s local language.
Pricing: Free plan available.
Consent checkboxes
Before customers finalize a purchase, they often must explicitly agree to your Terms of Service, return policies, or specific shipping contracts. Relying on static text links is not enough to prevent chargebacks.
CheckMate Terms and Conditions adds legally binding, timestamped consent checkboxes to your cart page, cart drawer, and checkout (for Shopify Plus users). Crucially, it blocks express checkout buttons (like Apple Pay or Shop Pay) until the customer has actively checked the “I agree” box.
Key features:
- 1-click enable for T&C checkboxes that block express checkout until accepted.
- Tamper-proof server-side validation (for Shopify Plus).
- Product and collection rules (e.g., only show a specific checkbox if a hazardous item is in the cart).
- Analytics dashboard tracking acceptance rates, with timestamped logging for legal defense.
Pricing: Free plan available; Pro Plan at $4.99/mo; Plus Plan at $12.99/mo.
California privacy compliance (CCPA/CPRA)
If your store processes data from California residents, you must comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CPRA). This requires providing a clear “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link and honoring opt-out requests.
Note: While there are standalone CCPA apps, the Axeptio app mentioned in the GDPR section above handles both EU GDPR and California CCPA/CPRA compliance simultaneously. Using a unified tool like Axeptio ensures you don’t suffer from “banner fatigue” by hitting your customers with multiple different popups for different regions.
EU VAT and tax compliance
Selling into the EU and UK means navigating complex VAT rules, IOSS (Import One-Stop Shop) registrations, and ensuring customers aren’t hit with surprise customs fees upon delivery.
While the Meetanshi app handles the frontend display of GPSR info, EAS EU & UK Compliance handles the heavy-duty backend legal and tax work. They act as your Authorized Representative for GPSR, handle your IOSS and VAT registrations, and automate your tax filings without forcing you to manage messy CSV spreadsheets.
Key features:
- Fully automated IOSS, OSS, Non-Union OSS, and UK VAT reporting and filings.
- Acts as your Authorized Representative for EU GPSR compliance.
- Configures your store to show prices inclusive of local VAT, preventing surprise delivery charges.
- Supports physical and digital sales across all Shopify plans.
Pricing: Free to install, with external registration and filing fees billed by EAS based on your volume.
Choose the right development partner for Shopify compliance
Apps are incredibly powerful, but they are ultimately just plugins. They cannot fix a poorly structured checkout, a theme with hardcoded illegal text, or a messy backend data structure.
If you are scaling a food, supplement, or heavily regulated brand, DIY compliance becomes a liability. A specialized Shopify development partner doesn’t just install apps, they architect your store so that compliance is built into the foundation.
