External service disclosure: * this plugin requires a ProofAge account and valid API credentials * it connects to the ProofAge API to create verifications, fetch verification status, and process signed webhook callbacks * when a shopper starts verification, the plugin sends limited verification request data to ProofAge, such as an external identifier, callback or return URL, supported storefront language, and verification-related metadata * the plugin stores limited verification state locally in WordPress and WooCommerce, including verification status, verification ID, external ID, return URL, timestamps, session token, and optional order verification metadata * ProofAge Privacy Policy: https://proofage.xyz/privacy * ProofAge Terms of Service: https://proofage.xyz/terms Supported browser flows: * open the hosted verification in an iframe modal on the current page * redirect in the current window * open the hosted verification in a new tab This version intentionally does not support: * a custom in-page ProofAge capture UI * theme-specific quick-view integrations beyond the generic add-to-cart interception hooks ## Installation 1. Upload the proofage-age-verification folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory, or install the plugin through WordPress. 2. Activate ProofAge Age Verification in the WordPress admin. 3. Go to Settings -> ProofAge Verification. 4. Enter your ProofAge API key and secret key. 5. Configure launch mode, gate texts, verification TTL, and protection scope. 6.
