<p>Stores selling products to B2B and B2C customers must often adjust product prices and catalog visibility for different user roles. However, before that, they must assign user roles to hundreds and thousands of customers. This extension allows you to display a user role dropdown on the registration page to allow customers to choose their role. Previously registered customers can change their user role from the “My Account” page.</p>
<p>You can display selected user roles in the dropdown, enable manual approval for specific user roles, and leave the rest for auto-approval.</p>

<h3><strong>Display selected user roles in dropdown:</strong></h3>
<p>Instead of showing all user roles, this extension enables you to show only relevant user roles in the dropdown and keep VIP user roles at the admin’s disposal, to assign from the backend as they see fit.</p>

<h3><strong>Manual and auto-approval: </strong></h3>
<p>You can enable manual approval for specific user roles and keep the rest on auto-approval. This feature allows you to validate customers before they can enjoy the benefits of special user roles. The customer will be able to login and will be assigned the default user role until the new user role request is approved.</p>

<h3>Add dropdown to My Account page</h3>
<p>This plugin allows you to display the same user roles dropdown on the My Account page. This is completely optional, given that you may not want to give your user the option of changing their role once it has been assigned.</p>

<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>
