Standard v1.1 · criterion S2
S2. Prescription gating
The product cannot be bought without a medical evaluation. Payment alone must not produce a shipment.
Gating is where a prescriber requirement becomes real. A clinician named on the about page means nothing if the cart works without one. S2 checks the order path itself, not the marketing copy above it.
Check method
The public order path is read up to, never past, the intake step. Add-to-cart commerce with no eligibility step fails.
What fails
An add-to-cart button on a semaglutide vial fails S2. An intake form that is optional fails S2.
