Pilot Age Verification Pro – Advanced Age Gate for WordPress and WooCommerce

Advanced Age Verification for WordPress and WooCommerce

Pilot Age Verification Pro gives website owners advanced control over who can access age-restricted content and products. Create a professional age gate for adult websites, alcohol stores, vape shops, sexual wellness businesses, adult novelty stores, wineries, breweries, and other age-sensitive websites.

Choose a simple Yes/No confirmation or require visitors to enter their date of birth. Apply one age requirement across your entire website or create targeted rules for selected pages, posts, products, WooCommerce categories, carts, and checkout sessions.

Why Download Pilot Age Verification Pro?

Basic age popups can protect only the entire website with one fixed rule. That may be enough for a small website, but growing stores often need different restrictions for different products, content types, locations, or customer journeys.

Pilot Age Verification Pro provides the additional flexibility required to manage those situations from one WordPress dashboard. No code changes are required, and the visitor’s date of birth is calculated locally in the browser instead of being transmitted or stored by the plugin.

• Protect only what needs protection: apply the age gate site-wide or restrict selected content and WooCommerce products.
• Improve visitor experience: avoid blocking unrestricted pages when only specific products or sections require an age gate.
• Use stronger confirmation: request a date of birth instead of relying exclusively on a Yes/No button.
• Adapt age requirements by country: define country-specific minimum ages when your CDN or hosting provider supplies a compatible country header.
• Protect purchase flows: display the gate when a WooCommerce cart contains restricted products.
• Match your brand: customize colors, messages, logos, background images, and CSS.
• Measure performance: review anonymous aggregate views, approvals, denials, and approval rates.
• Maintain visitor privacy: the plugin does not store dates of birth, identity documents, IP addresses, or visitor profiles.

Professional Age-Verification Features

Date-of-Birth Verification

Visitors can enter their month, day, and year of birth. Pilot Age Verification Pro performs an accurate calendar-based age calculation directly in the browser. The submitted date is not sent to WordPress or saved in the database.

Yes/No Confirmation Mode

For websites that prefer a faster experience, Pro also includes a simple confirmation mode with customizable approval and denial buttons.

Country-Specific Age Rules

Create rules using ISO country codes, such as US:21 or GB:18. Country detection works with compatible headers provided by Cloudflare, a hosting provider, or a geolocation proxy. When a supported header is unavailable, the plugin uses your default minimum age.

Flexible Content Protection

Select the protection strategy that fits your website:

• Protect the entire website.
• Protect selected pages, posts, products, or custom post types.
• Enter specific content IDs.
• Enable protection directly from the WordPress content editor.
• Combine selected content and WooCommerce rules.

WooCommerce Product and Category Rules

Protect all WooCommerce products or select only the categories that contain age-restricted items. When enabled, Pro can also protect the cart and checkout whenever a restricted product is present.

Scheduling

Set optional start and end dates for the age gate. This is useful for campaigns, events, temporary product launches, and scheduled content.

Advanced Design Controls

Create an age gate that feels like part of your website rather than a generic popup. Customize the logo, background image, overlay color, card color, accent color, text color, messages, buttons, denial notice, redirect URL, and custom CSS.

Privacy-Friendly Analytics

Monitor aggregate gate views, approvals, denials, and approval rates. Pro retains a rolling 90-day daily summary without creating visitor profiles or storing dates of birth, documents, or IP addresses.

Country Detection Requirements

Country-specific rules require one of the following headers to be supplied by your CDN, proxy, or hosting environment:

• CF-IPCountry from Cloudflare.
• X-Country-Code from a compatible proxy or hosting provider.
• GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE from a GeoIP-enabled server.

Pilot Age Verification Pro does not send the visitor’s IP address to an external geolocation API. If none of the supported headers is available, the default age requirement is applied.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Pilot Age Verification Pro work with WooCommerce?

Yes. It can protect WooCommerce products and categories and can display the age gate on the cart and checkout when restricted products are present.

Can I protect only certain products?

Yes. Select restricted WooCommerce categories, enter individual product IDs, or enable age protection directly from the product editor.

Can different countries have different minimum ages?

Yes. You can create country rules using two-letter ISO country codes. Your server, CDN, or proxy must provide a compatible country header for automatic detection.

Does the plugin send IP addresses to a geolocation service?

No. Pro reads a country code already supplied by a compatible server, host, CDN, or proxy. It does not make an external IP geolocation request.

Is a visitor’s date of birth stored?

No. The date-of-birth calculation takes place in the visitor’s browser. The plugin does not send or store the submitted birth date.

What information is stored for analytics?

Analytics contain aggregate counts for gate views, approvals, and denials, plus a rolling daily summary. The plugin does not create visitor profiles or store IP addresses, dates of birth, or identity documents.

Can I disable analytics?

Yes. Aggregate analytics can be disabled from the plugin settings, and existing analytics can be reset from the Analytics tab.

Can I schedule the age gate?

Yes. You can define optional start and end dates from the plugin settings.

Can I customize the design?

Yes. Pro includes logo, background image, color, message, button, redirect, and custom CSS controls.

What happens if Pilot Age Verification Lite is also active?

When Pro is enabled, it automatically suppresses the Lite front-end gate to prevent two age screens from appearing. You may safely deactivate Lite after confirming your Pro configuration.

Does Pilot Age Verification Pro verify government identification?

No. The included modes use self-declaration or a browser-based date-of-birth calculation. The plugin does not scan identification documents, estimate a person’s age, or confirm identity.

Does the plugin guarantee legal compliance?

No. Age-verification obligations vary by country, state, region, product, business model, and content type. Consult qualified legal counsel to determine whether this type of age gate is appropriate for your website.
