Privacy-first age verification for WooCommerce and WordPress.<\/strong> WooCommerce has no built-in official age gate \u2014 AgeOnce adds real checks at checkout, optional customer signup on My Account, and restricted content, without archiving customer IDs or face images on your server. Your site keeps the verification outcome and an Audit ID. Start free with 100 verifications per month, no credit card required.<\/p>\n\n Full setup guide (video, install, free plan):<\/strong> WordPress age verification on AgeOnce.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n [youtube https:\/\/youtu.be\/jgeSc9HrJ2M]<\/p>\n\n About 90 seconds: install, connect credentials, set product rules, verify at checkout, then review order status and the AgeOnce audit log.<\/p>\n\n Use it for alcohol, tobacco, vaping, cannabis, adult content, supplements, events, memberships, or any other WordPress content that should be shown only after age verification.<\/p>\n\n Instead of relying on a simple \"Are you 18?\" popup, AgeOnce sends the visitor through a dedicated verification flow and then returns them to your store. The plugin can block WooCommerce checkout until verification is complete, optionally require age verification before customers create a store account on My Account, protect selected posts or pages, and record verification details on WooCommerce orders and new customer accounts.<\/p>\n\n Age assurance is now a legal requirement in many markets \u2014 the UK Online Safety Act, US state age-verification laws, the EU Digital Services Act, and FDA PACT rules for tobacco and vape all expect real checks rather than a self-declared age box. AgeOnce gives you a workflow you can show an auditor while keeping data collection to a minimum.<\/p>\n\n You can start with the AgeOnce free plan. No credit card is required for the free tier, so you can install the plugin, connect your site, and test the full WooCommerce checkout, optional signup gate, or content restriction flow before upgrading.<\/p>\n\n Docs: WordPress plugin documentation<\/a>. Plans: AgeOnce pricing<\/a>. Product page: wordpress-age-verification<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n This plugin sends data to the AgeOnce service (app.ageonce.com, api.ageonce.com) only when a user explicitly starts age verification, such as clicking \"Verify Age\" at checkout, on the My Account registration form, or on restricted content. No tracking or data collection occurs without that user action.<\/p>\n\n The plugin does not send WordPress account passwords to AgeOnce. It may store a verification flag in the WooCommerce session or a cookie (about 24 hours), and it may store verification metadata on WooCommerce orders and, when signup verification is enabled, on new customer accounts. See the AgeOnce service<\/a> for privacy and terms.<\/p>\n\n This plugin relies on third-party services operated by AgeOnce (the verification provider). They are required for OAuth login and token exchange so the site can confirm age verification.<\/p>\n\n AgeOnce web app (app.ageonce.com)<\/strong> \u2014 Used for the user-facing OAuth authorization screen when someone clicks \"Verify Age\". The browser is redirected here with your site\u2019s OAuth client ID, redirect URI, a state value, and required minimum age. The user completes verification on AgeOnce; no WordPress account password is sent to AgeOnce.<\/p><\/li>\n AgeOnce API (api.ageonce.com)<\/strong> \u2014 Used when the user returns to your site with an authorization code. The plugin sends a server-to-server request to exchange that code for an access token: it transmits the authorization code, redirect URI, OAuth state, and HTTP Basic authentication using your Client ID and Client Secret (stored in WordPress options). On success, the plugin may store a verification flag in the WooCommerce session or a cookie and optional transaction metadata for orders. This happens only during that callback after the user completes the flow.<\/p><\/li>\n Terms and privacy (AgeOnce)<\/strong> \u2014 Terms of service<\/a>, Privacy policy<\/a>.<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\nSee how it works<\/h4>\n\n
