<h2>The smarter way to handle age-restricted sales online</h2>
Age Verification Manager gives WooCommerce stores a flexible, privacy-friendly age gate that appears only where you need it — product pages, categories, checkout, or site-wide. You control when to challenge shoppers and how they verify.

<h2>What it does</h2>
With this extension, you can:
<ul>
<li>Comply with regulations: Enforce minimum age requirements for alcohol, vape, supplements, knives, and more.</li>
<li>Choose verification method: Quick self-confirmation or precise date-of-birth input.</li>
<li>Target where it shows: Site entry, restricted product/category/tag/brand pages, add-to-cart, checkout, and specific posts/pages.</li>
<li>Remember verified users: Signed cookie and user meta (for logged-in customers) prevents repeat prompts across sessions.</li>
<li>Force re-verification: Bump the Policy Version to re-challenge everyone after legal or policy changes.</li>
<li>Operate privacy-first: Consent-aware mode respects your CMP and keeps all data on your site—no third-party services.</li>
<li>Audit with confidence: Built-in logs, CSV export, and WP-CLI tools for reporting and compliance reviews.</li>
<li>Design to match your brand: Multiple preset templates (Tailwind, Flowbite, and more) with customizable colors, fonts, and overlays.</li>
</ul>
<hr />
 

<h2>Why choose this extension vs other options?</h2>

<li>Native WooCommerce integration: Hooks into add-to-cart and checkout validation so restricted items can’t slip through.</li>
<li>Performance-minded: Lightweight, only loads when needed, and built for modern WordPress/WooCommerce versions.</li>
<li>Developer-friendly: Filters, actions, REST endpoints, and WP-CLI commands for scalable operations.</li>

One off Triggered Notifications

Use one off messages to boost engagement, promote time sensitive offers, or share important updates. Flow Notify makes targeted communication simple and fast.
Product In Stock Notifications
Product in stock notifications help customers receive instant alerts when items return to inventory. Visitors can subscribe on product pages and Flow Notify sends automatic notifications when stock is updated.
This drives return traffic, increases conversions, and helps customers track the items they want most.
