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

<h2>Why choose this extension vs other options?</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Granular control</strong>: Most extensions offer a single, generic popup. Age Verification Manager lets you set rules per product, category, page, or checkout.</li>
<li><strong>Compliance-first architecture</strong>: Hashed IPs, privacy exporter/eraser, consent-aware mode, and detailed logs.</li>
<li><strong>Native WooCommerce integration</strong>: Hooks into add-to-cart and checkout validation so restricted items can’t slip through.</li>
<li><strong>Performance-minded</strong>: Lightweight, only loads when needed, and built for modern WordPress/WooCommerce versions.</li>
<li><strong>Developer-friendly</strong>: Filters, actions, REST endpoints, and WP-CLI commands for scalable operations.</li>
</ul>

<h2 style="color: #f5247d">Display targeted, high‑impact messages to new and returning visitors</h2>
<p><strong>WooCommerce Splash Popup</strong> lets you put the right message in front of the right shopper at the right time—without sending them to another page. Use any WordPress page as the popup content, target by visitor type (logged out, logged in, or customers), and throttle how often it appears so you inform without annoying. Great for promos, newsletter signups, shipping notices, or must‑see announcements.</p>

<h2 style="color: #f5247d">Target the right visitor with the right message</h2>
<p>Use your existing WordPress pages as popup content and tailor what each visitor sees.<br />
Personalizing messages by audience makes promotions more relevant, reduces friction, and lifts key actions like signups and add to cart.<br />
You get clearer communication without sending shoppers to another page.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Logged out visitors:</strong> Welcome first‑timers with a clear value prop, a simple site intro, or a newsletter offer.<br />
Great for growing your list and guiding new shoppers to best sellers.</li>
<li><strong>Logged in users:</strong> Share new arrivals, saved items, or account benefits.<br />
Nudge known visitors toward the next step instead of repeating generic promos.</li>
<li><strong>Logged in customers:</strong> Reward loyalty with exclusive discounts, reorder prompts, or member‑only content.<br />
Encourage repeat purchases and higher lifetime value.</li>
</ul>
<p>Because the popup pulls from WordPress pages, you can reuse layouts, forms, and shortcodes you already maintain.<br />
The result is faster setup, consistent branding, and higher engagement from messages that match each visitor’s intent.</p>

<p>When a visitor closes the popup, it won’t keep nagging them every time they come back. Instead, you can set how long to wait before showing it again. Whether that’s a few days, a couple of weeks, or longer. By default it’s 30 days, which strikes a balance between staying visible and avoiding annoyance. This way your messages feel timely and helpful, not pushy, and visitors stay focused on shopping instead of repeatedly dismissing the same popup.</p>
