Beschreibung
WooCommerce Age Validation Per Product gives you fine-grained control over who can purchase restricted items in your WooCommerce store based on date-of-birth (DOB) settings. Shop owners can:
* Set a minimum or maximum DOB on simple products.
* Globally define DOB restrictions for variable products, or set them per variation.
* Prompt users for DOB at checkout only if restricted items are in the cart.
* Block checkout if the entered DOB does not satisfy the product(s) restrictions.
Key Features:
* Per-product or per-variation DOB range (e.g., only allow customers with birthdates in 01-01-1980 to 31-12-2005).
* Global fields for variable products that override each variation’s settings.
* Conditional DOB field at checkout (shown only if restricted items are in the cart).
* Client-side datepicker in the admin (so store managers can pick min/max dates) and in the checkout for users.
* Automatic validation to block purchase if the DOB is outside the allowed range.
* Optionally show notices on the product page or in the cart for restricted items.
Use Cases:
* Alcohol, tobacco, vaping, or adult content requiring age gating.
* Specialty products requiring a specific DOB range (e.g., child tickets vs. adult tickets).
* Special subscription products that require age segmentation (i.e. summer camps for children of different ages).
* Any scenario needing a user’s date-of-birth for compliance.

age-validation-per-product-for-woofolder to the/wp-content/plugins/directory, or install via the WordPress Plugin Repository (if applicable). - Activate the plugin from your WordPress “Plugins” page.
- Ensure WooCommerce is installed and active.
- Place the
jquery-ui.cssfile inassets/css/jquery-ui.csswithin the plugin folder. This is used for the datepicker styling. - Go to any WooCommerce product and configure the DOB fields in the “Product Data” panel:

- Variable products: In the “General” tab, set “Global DOB Minimum / Maximum.” If you need variation-specific overrides, edit each variation’s own fields.
- Optionally, instruct your users (or admin) to set their DOB in the “My Account Account Details” page or in the WP admin profile if needed.
FAQ
-
1) Why is the DOB field not appearing on checkout?
-
- If there are no restricted products in the cart, the DOB field will not appear (by design).
- Ensure you have set a min or max date for at least one product or variation.
- Check for theme or plugin conflicts that might remove or rename the
billing_date_of_birthfield.
-
2) How do I set an “18 years old minimum” instead of a date range?
-
- Currently, the plugin relies on a date range. If you want a simple “minimum age,” set the “Minimum DOB” to a date that corresponds to being 18 (for today’s date). For example, if today is 2024, you can set the min DOB to
01-01-2006to enforce an 18+ rule (adjust as needed over time). Or modify the code to compute from a numeric “Min Age.”

3) Can I store or reuse the user’s DOB for future orders?
-
- By default, the plugin checks DOB every time. If you want to store it in the user profile, you can add custom code to copy
_billing_date_of_birthto user meta. Make sure to comply with privacy laws.

-
4) Why do my variation fields always appear empty?
-
- If the “Global” fields are set, variation fields are intentionally disabled and do not save their own data. If you want to override that, edit the logic to allow both global and variation-level data.
-
5) Can I display a notice on the product page or the cart if the item is restricted?
-
- Yes. See the plugin’s helper or your theme’s hooks to display a short message like “This product is age-restricted” on single product pages and in the cart for any restricted item.
