Cannot select the dropdown with selenium in Python

Question

I am trying to webscrap some data from a website and for that I have to go through the age verification using selenium. I was wondering if there is way to change the store location in the popup. Below is my code:

from selenium import webdriver

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait

from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys

import pandas as pd

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

import requests as r


import time

from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import Select

PATH="chromedriver.exe"


driver=webdriver.Chrome(PATH)

url1="https://cannacabana.com/collections/all?page=1"

driver.get(url1)

Select(WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "select#store-select")))).select_by_visible_text('ajax')

if someone can help I would really appreciate. Thanks

Yes, you can select the store location.
It is a Select element there.
There is a special way to use such element with selenium.
You can select an option from the list of available options according to displayed text, index or value as described in the documentation
So your code could be something like this:

from selenium import webdriver

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait

from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys

import pandas as pd

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

import requests as r


import time

from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import Select

PATH="chromedriver.exe"


driver=webdriver.Chrome(PATH)

url1="https://cannacabana.com/collections/all?page=1"

driver.get(url1)

select_element = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "select#store-select")))
select = Select(select_element)
select.select_by_value('rideau')
