Age Validation Per Product for WooCommerce

WooCommerce Age Validation Per Product gives you fine-grained control over who can purchase restricted items in your WooCommerce store based on date-of-birth (DOB) settings. Shop owners can:
* Set a minimum or maximum DOB on simple products.
* Globally define DOB restrictions for variable products, or set them per variation.
* Prompt users for DOB at checkout only if restricted items are in the cart.
* Block checkout if the entered DOB does not satisfy the product(s) restrictions.

Key Features:
* Per-product or per-variation DOB range (e.g., only allow customers with birthdates in 01-01-1980 to 31-12-2005).
* Global fields for variable products that override each variation’s settings.
* Conditional DOB field at checkout (shown only if restricted items are in the cart).
* Client-side datepicker in the admin (so store managers can pick min/max dates) and in the checkout for users.
* Automatic validation to block purchase if the DOB is outside the allowed range.
* Optionally show notices on the product page or in the cart for restricted items.

Use Cases:
* Alcohol, tobacco, vaping, or adult content requiring age gating.
* Specialty products requiring a specific DOB range (e.g., child tickets vs. adult tickets).
* Special subscription products that require age segmentation (i.e. summer camps for children of different ages).
* Any scenario needing a user’s date-of-birth for compliance.

Usage

1. Activate the plugin.
2. For Simple Products:
   • Go to the “General” tab in “Product Data,” fill in DOB Minimum or DOB Maximum in dd-mm-yyyy format.
3. For Variable Products:
   • In the “General” tab, fill in Global DOB Minimum or Global DOB Maximum.
   • (Optionally) Edit each variation to set specific DOB fields if the global fields are empty or need overriding.

1. Upload the entire age-validation-per-product-for-woo folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory, or install via the WordPress Plugin Repository (if applicable).
2. Activate the plugin from your WordPress “Plugins” page.
3. Ensure WooCommerce is installed and active.
4. Place the jquery-ui.css file in assets/css/jquery-ui.css within the plugin folder. This is used for the datepicker styling.
