Advanced Age Verification Pro is the all-in-one age gate for WordPress and WooCommerce. Show a beautiful popup in seconds, ask for a date of birth or run a real ID check, use different rules per country or US state, and keep an audit trail that is ready for regulators — without slowing your site down or hurting your Google rankings.
Modern date-of-birth picker — separate Day / Month / Year fields in the visitor's own order and language, with the native scroll wheel on phones.
Real ID verification with Stripe Identity, Veriff or AgeChecker.Net — ID scan plus optional selfie match.
Region rules — a different check or minimum age per country, US state or the whole EU (for example UK and Texas = ID check).
WooCommerce checkout age check with order hold, minimum age per product or category and adult-signature notices on emails and packing slips.
Gutenberg block, Elementor widget and shortcode to hide only part of a page, plus per-page Default / Strict / Never control.
Schedule & A/B testing, webhooks (Zapier, Make, n8n), a REST API, team access, multisite and WPML / Polylang support.
A redesigned admin with live preview, setup wizard, in-app help and a downloadable PDF compliance report.
Alcohol and wine shops, vape and CBD stores, tobacco, cannabis-adjacent brands, betting and adult content sites use it to meet local age laws — from simple “Over 18” confirmations under GDPR to strict ID checks for the UK Online Safety Act and US state laws.
Modern date-of-birth popup — separate Day / Month / Year fields that work great on phones.
Simple settings with live preview — every change shows instantly before you save.
Region rules — ID check for the UK and Texas, date of birth for Germany, Yes / No everywhere else.
Analytics dashboard — views, pass rate, failed checks and drop-offs at a glance.
The gate checks a cookie in the browser, so WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache and Cloudflare keep caching your pages. Real Google and Bing crawlers are recognised by their IP address and skip the gate, so your products and articles stay indexed. Every setting is explained in the step-by-step documentation.

Yes. Lock the whole store, specific categories, tags, shipping classes or products, use soft gating on the Add to cart button, or put the age check inside the checkout form. Pro can also ask for the date of birth at checkout, hold underage orders and tag orders for adult-signature delivery. Both the classic checkout and the Checkout block are supported.
Yes. Pro connects to Stripe Identity, Veriff or AgeChecker.Net for an automatic ID scan with optional selfie match, or lets visitors upload a photo ID that you approve manually. You can require ID checks only in certain places — for example the UK and Texas — using region rules.
Yes. The age gate checks the verification cookie in the browser, so your pages stay fully cached with WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache, Cloudflare and server caching. Features that depend on the visitor (region rules, schedule, A/B test, strict gating) automatically mark only those pages as not cacheable.
The free version gives you a great-looking, cache-friendly Yes / No or date-of-birth popup. Pro adds real ID verification, region and country rules, the WooCommerce checkout age check, the block / widget / shortcode, premium designs, security and lockouts, compliance reports, analytics, A/B tests, webhooks, the REST API, team access and priority support.
Absolutely. Set any minimum age, and with Pro use a different age per country, US state, product or product category — for example beer 18 and spirits 21.
No. The plugin loads only a few kilobytes of assets, does not block your content from loading and lets real Google and Bing crawlers (verified by IP address) pass, so your Core Web Vitals and rankings stay safe.
Yes. Pro includes an Age-restricted content Gutenberg block, an Elementor widget and a shortcode, and every text you enter can be translated with WPML or Polylang.
It depends on the plan you choose. One-time plans are a single payment for a lifetime license with lifetime updates and support, with no renewals. Monthly and yearly plans renew automatically and you can cancel anytime from your dashboard; your license stays active as long as the subscription is paid.
