proofage

ProofAge Age Verification integrates the hosted ProofAge verification flow with WordPress and WooCommerce.
With this plugin you can:
<ul>
<li>protect the full site or selected WordPress pages and post categories</li>
<li>protect WooCommerce products and product categories</li>
<li>block add-to-cart, cart, checkout, and Store API flows until verification is complete</li>
<li>show a full-page gate or a blocking overlay, depending on the protected content</li>
<li>launch the hosted ProofAge flow in an iframe modal, the current window, or a new tab</li>
<li>store a verification snapshot on WooCommerce orders and show it in the admin order details panel</li>
<li>localize gate copy and pass the supported storefront language to ProofAge when creating a verification</li>
</ul>
The plugin uses the hosted ProofAge flow and webhooks together with browser-side return reconciliation and status polling.
External service disclosure:
<ul>
<li>this plugin requires a ProofAge account and valid API credentials</li>
<li>it connects to the ProofAge API to create verifications, fetch verification status, and process signed webhook callbacks</li>
<li>when a shopper starts verification, the plugin sends limited verification request data to ProofAge, such as an external identifier, callback or return URL, supported storefront language, and verification-related metadata</li>
<li>the plugin stores limited verification state locally in WordPress and WooCommerce, including verification status, verification ID, external ID, return URL, timestamps, session token, and optional order verification metadata</li>

</ul>
This version intentionally does not support:

<li>a custom in-page ProofAge capture UI</li>
<li>theme-specific quick-view integrations beyond the generic add-to-cart interception hooks</li>
</ul>

<h3>External Services</h3>

<h4>When data is transmitted</h4>
<ol>
<li>During age verification – When a visitor clicks “Verify now”</li>
<li>Credit balance check – When admin pages load to display remaining credits</li>
<li>Statistics retrieval – When the Statistics dashboard loads to display verification metrics</li>
<li>Health logging – Internal monitoring events (not transmitted to external API)</li>

<h4>Data transmitted</h4>

Hash Generation:
<ul>

<li>Callback verification: <code>hash('sha1', result . user_id . age . secret_key)</code></li>
</ul>
Privacy note: This plugin and the BorderAge API store only pseudonymized data: a hashed visitor ID and a boolean indicating whether the age threshold was met. Zero Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is stored or transmitted – no names, emails. Unlike competitors, BorderAge uses no biometric fingerprinting, no selfies, and no ID documents. This eliminates any risk of personal data leaks, as such data simply doesn’t exist in our system.
