How it works
When a new visitor enters any page of your store, a full-screen overlay appears with a centered modal window. The window displays your custom header, message, question, and two clearly labeled buttons — “Yes, I am 18 years old or older” and “No, I am under 18 years old”. The page behind the popup is neither scrollable nor clickable. There is no way to close the popup without making a choice. After clicking “Yes”, a cookie is set and the popup will not appear again for 30 days (or another configured number of days). After clicking “No”, the visitor is immediately redirected away from the store — no cookie is set, so the popup will appear again on the next visit.
Built for real businesses, not for show
Many age verification solutions are makeshift — a small banner or checkbox hidden in the footer. This module places verification exactly where regulators and payment operators expect it — front and center. The popup uses z-index 999999, which means it is displayed above every other element on the page — above sticky headers, above chat widgets, above cookie banners. Page scrolling is blocked while the popup is active. The only way to close it is to make a choice.
Every text element is fully translatable and configurable per language. Running a multilingual wine store in Poland, Germany, and France? Set different headers, messages, and button labels for each language — all from the module configuration page. No template editing required.
