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

Excellent

Staring July 1 2021 for online shops in The Netherlands when selling alcohol age verification is mandatory. This is exactly what I needed, simple and effective. Thank you for providing!

Great plugin but needs a translation

Gilles April 15, 2021

Great plugin, it is light and it works as expected. 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!

Works great!
