Edit any product and check “Age-restricted product” in the Product Data General tab. 2. Configure your minimum age, modal copy, and display options under **WooCommerce Age Restriction**. 3. Visitors who open a restricted product page see the age-verification modal first. Confirming lets them view the page (remembered via cookie); exiting redirects them away. 4. Optional badges and warning messages reinforce the restriction on listing pages, the product page, and cart/checkout. ## Screenshots [⌊Plugin listing page showing settings option⌉⌊Plugin listing page showing settings option⌉[ Plugin listing page showing settings option [⌊Plugin settings page with age, modal options.⌉⌊Plugin settings page with age, modal options.⌉[ Plugin settings page with age, modal options.

Make sure WooCommerce is installed and active. 2. Upload the `byticslab-age-restrictions-for-woocommerce` folder to `/wp-content/ plugins/`, or install the plugin ZIP via **Plugins Add New Upload Plugin**. 3. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu in WordPress. (Activation is blocked with an explanatory message if WooCommerce is not active.) 4. Go to **WooCommerce Age Restriction** to configure the minimum age, modal text, exit behavior, and display options. 5. Edit any product you want to restrict and check **Age-restricted product** in the Product Data General tab. ## FAQ ### Does this work with variable products? Yes. The age-restricted flag is set at the product level (the parent product), so it applies to simple and variable products alike — individual variations don’t need to be flagged separately. ### Will this break page caching? No. The modal markup is rendered identically for every visitor; a small script decides whether to display it based on a client-side cookie. The server never renders different HTML per visitor, so full-page caching plugins and CDNs are unaffected. ### Is this compatible with WPML, Polylang, or Loco Translate? The plugin’s own interface strings (labels, buttons, error messages) are wrapped with standard WordPress i18n functions and ship with a `.pot` file, so tools like Loco Translate can translate the plugin UI immediately, and WPML/Polylang can translate it as a standard text-domain-based plugin. The _content you type into the settings_ (modal title/message, warning text, badge text) is stored as plain option values, which are not automatically per-language. To show different wording per language for that content, register the relevant option fields with your multilingual plugin’s string translation feature (e.g. WPML’s String Translation, or Polylang’s settings translation) — this has not been pre-wired or tested against every multilingual plugin/version combination, so please verify on your setup before relying on it in production. ### What happens to my settings if I deactivate the plugin? Nothing — settings and product meta are preserved. They are only removed if you delete the plugin from the Plugins screen. ### Does the cart/checkout warning work with the block-based Cart and Checkout pages? Yes. The warning is displayed on both the classic, shortcode-based Cart/Checkout pages and the block-based Cart and Checkout blocks. ### Once I confirm my age on one product, do I have to confirm again for other restricted products? No. The confirmation is remembered site-wide (via a single cookie) for the configured number of days, not per product. Once you confirm on any age-restricted product, you won’t see the modal again on other restricted products until the cookie expires or is cleared. ### What data does this plugin store in cookies? The plugin sets one cookie, named `waarm_age_verified`, in the visitor’s browser when they click the confirmation button on the age-verification modal. It stores only a fixed value (`1`) meaning “this visitor has confirmed they meet the minimum age” — no personal data, no actual age or birthdate, and no tracking identifiers. It expires after the number of days set in **Remember Confirmation For (days)** under the plugin settings (or when the browser session ends, if that setting is 0). No other cookies are set by this plugin. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “ByticsLab Age Restrictions for WooCommerce” is open source software.
