Highlights

  • Age verification directly in the checkout
  • Activation and age limits configurable individually per sales channel
  • Exam with official ID

Features

  • Age check as a separate intermediate step in the checkout
  • Support for official ID documents (e.g., identity card, passport)
  • No external interface required – complete verification within the plugin
  • Clear presentation and intuitive data entry for end customers
  • Permanent storage of verified age in the customer account
  • Customizable age limits (min./max. age) per sales channel
  • Compatible with mobile devices, tablets, and desktops

Purpose

The plugin is intended for shop owners who are legally required to sell certain products – such as alcohol, tobacco products, or media content – only to adults. It provides an efficient and GDPR-compliant solution for age verification directly in the checkout, without the need to leave the shop or integrate third-party services.

Possible Use Cases / Application Scenarios

  • Online sale of alcohol, e-cigarettes, and tobacco products

  • Protection of age-restricted media or content (e.g., FSK/USK)

  • Mandatory verification for specific country markets with age requirements

  • Audit-proof documentation of the verification time for recurring purchases

Usage

Customers who add an age-restricted product to the cart are directed to an intermediate step during checkout. There, ID data is entered for verification. If the age check has already been successfully completed, this step is automatically skipped for future orders.

Limitations / Notes

  • A successful verification is stored with a timestamp – ideal for returning customers

  • The age check only applies to products that are appropriately marked (e.g., via product tag or rule)

Review with rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars

Haben uns einige Plugins zu diesem Thema angeschaut und uns für dieses hier entschieden, da es unserer Meinung nach die beste Nutzererfahrung bietet. Das Setup ist einfach und schnell erledigt. Der Support konnte mir schnell und kompetent helfen. Einzig könnte man die Grafiken noch etwas verschönern, dann wäre das Plugin optimal!

Vielen Dank für das tolle Plugin, es funktioniert sehr gut und ist für den Endkunden angenehm und einfach zu nutzen.
Ich brauchte eine kleine individuelle Anpassung, welche schnell mit dem sehr freundlichen und kompetenten Support besprochen und umgesetzt werden konnte. Tiptop.
