This is particularly useful for stores selling age-restricted products. Once enabled, customers will see a verification popup before entering the website. ***
## Enable Age Verification To activate the age verification popup: 1. Go to **Age Verification Settings**. 2. Toggle **Age Verification is Enabled**. 3. Once enabled, the verification popup will appear to visitors before they access your store. ***
## Age Verification Popup Settings These settings allow you to customize how customers verify their age. ### Age Check Method Select how customers will confirm their age. **No Input**\ Customers simply confirm they are above the required age without entering additional details. **Birthday Entry**\ Customers must enter their **month, day, and year of birth** to verify their age. **Checkbox**\ Customers confirm their age by checking a checkbox indicating they are above the required age. *** ## Date Format If you choose **Birthday Entry**, you can select the preferred date format. **European Date Format**\ `DD/MM/YYYY` **US Date Format**\ `MM/DD/YYYY` **ISO Date Format**\ `YYYY/MM/DD` Choose the format that best matches your store’s audience. ***
## Age Verification Popup Logo You can display an icon or logo on the verification popup to make it visually clear for customers. Available options include: * **None** – No icon will be displayed. * **18+ Shield Icon** * **18+ Circle Icon** * **Add Image** – Upload your own custom icon. **Note:**\ Maximum upload size is **2 MB**. *** ## Icon Size Use the **Icon Size slider** to adjust the size of the logo displayed in the pop-up. You can increase or decrease the icon size depending on your store design preferences. ***
## Layout & Style Settings The **layout & style settings** allow you to customize the appearance and content of the age verification popup. These settings help you control the text displayed to visitors and adjust how the popup communicates the age requirement. You can personalize headings, button labels, warning messages, and privacy information to match your store’s tone and branding. The settings are organized into three tabs: * **Content** * **Container** * **Button** *** ## Content The **Content** tab allows you to edit the text that appears inside the age verification popup. ### Heading The **heading** is the main title displayed at the top of the popup. **Example:**\ `Age Verification` This text clearly informs visitors that they must confirm their age before entering the store. *** ### Subheading The **subheading** provides additional information about the age restriction. **Example:**\ `You must be at least 18 to visit this site` This message helps explain the purpose of the verification process. *** ### Agree Button Label This setting defines the text displayed on the confirmation button that visitors click if they meet the age requirement. **Example:**\ `I am Over 18` When users click this button, they will be allowed to access the store. *** ### Reject Button Label The **Reject Button Label** defines the text shown on the button for visitors who do not wish to proceed. **Example:**\ `Cancel` This option allows visitors to decline the age verification. *** ### Warning Message The **warning message** is displayed when visitors do not meet the required age criteria. **Example:**\ `You must be 18+ to enter this site` This message informs users that they cannot access the store due to age restrictions. *** ### Cancel Button URL This setting defines the destination URL when the visitor clicks the **Reject** or **Cancel** button. **Example:**\ `#` You may redirect visitors to: * Another website * A specific page * A legal information page *** ### Privacy Policy Enabling the **Privacy Policy** option allows you to display a privacy-related message within the popup. This section includes a text editor where you can add or customize the privacy notice. **Example message:** `Your choice may be stored to remember verification.` This informs visitors that their verification choice may be saved for future visits. The text editor supports basic formatting options such as: * Bold * Italic * Underline * Lists * Links *** ## Best Practices To provide a clear and user-friendly experience: * Use **simple and direct language** in headings and messages. * Ensure the **age requirement is clearly visible**. * Add a **privacy message** to maintain transparency with visitors. * Use button labels that clearly indicate the visitor’s action. ***
## Typography, Color and Checkbox Settings The **typography, color, and checkbox settings** allow you to customize the appearance of the age verification popup, including text sizes, colors, and date input styles. The settings are divided into three tabs: * **Typography** * **Color** * **Date**
