The customer cannot checkout if their given date of birth means they are younger than the minimum age. ### Requirements * WooCommerce 3.0 or greater * PHP 5.6 or greater ### Translations If you’d like to help out by translating this plugin, please [sign up for an account and dig in](https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/minimum-age-woocommerce). ### Contributions * [Fork me on GitHub](https://github.com/webaware/minimum-age-woocommerce/) ### Privacy The customer’s date of birth is recorded, so that transactions can be audited for compliance with minimum age legislation. The customer’s date of birth is transmitted in order confirmation and notification emails. This information is not shared with any other parties. ## Screenshots * [[ * WooCommerce settings * [[ * The birth date question in the checkout, showing an error message ## FAQ ### How can I set the minimum age? The default minimum age is 18. You can change it the WooCommerce settings: WooCommerce > Settings > Minimum Age > Minimum age ### How can I change the order of the date fields? The default order of the birth date fields is day, month, year. You can choose a different layout in the settings: WooCommerce > Settings > Minimum Age > Date layout ### Can I show the date of birth question conditionally? There is a filter hook `minimum_age_woo_show_question` that allows developers to hide the date of birth question if it isn’t required, e.g. only show for products in certain categories. It accepts a single boolean parameter, and returns a boolean: true to show the question, otherwise false. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/d8dabfdfa65caf315d6117e0b567eb082be654508a2f2cbfe8aab8ebdbb0c97c? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Excellent](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/excellent-10880/)󠁿 [FannyV](https://profiles.wordpress.org/fannyv/) June 25, 2021 Staring July 1 2021 for online shops in The Netherlands when selling alcohol age verification is mandatory.

But there is an urgent need to have the customer form and the errors translated to various languages. I updated the file “class.Checkout.php” but this is something I have to do every time there is an update. Please use po/mo files instead! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/ac8be9053e6d83e211d0e55c64e8bfb72ba8ac473090850a3d2007a6c6d52b24? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works great!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-great-7330/)󠁿 [karssnijders](https://profiles.wordpress.org/karssnijders/) December 16, 2020 Works great and does what it has to do! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/8b887bc7f5f8ff707b8051eafa74a183ca6e938270d8358ebddcc55563de0ce1? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Nice Plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nice-plugin-2971/)󠁿 [cestus](https://profiles.wordpress.org/cestus/) January 18, 2019 Thank you for providing a nice plugin.
