Age Gate
Display an age verification gate on the login page for web customers. This feature is not shown in the installed Pointless App.
How It Works
When enabled, web visitors land on a full-screen age verification overlay before the login form appears. The user must click Yes to acknowledge they meet the required age. This acknowledgment is stored in the browser's localStorage, so returning visitors on the same device won't see the gate again.
Configuration
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Age Gate Required | Master toggle — enable to activate the age gate |
| Age Gate Value | The minimum age number shown in the prompt (e.g., 21). The question reads: "Are you {value} years of age or older?" |
| Age Notification | Rich-text editor for a custom notice displayed below the question. Use this to explain age requirements, legal notices, or warnings. The tip-tap editor supports bold, italic, headings, and lists. |
Steps to Enable
- Navigate to Settings > Software & Hardware > Interfaces.
- Scroll to the Order Settings section.
- Toggle Age Gate Required to
ON. - Enter the required age in Age Gate Value (e.g.,
21). - (Optional) Use the Age Notification Requirement editor to add a legal notice or warning message.
- Click Save to apply the changes.
Clearing the Acknowledgment
The age gate acknowledgment is stored per-browser in localStorage under the key ageGateAck. To re-trigger the gate for testing, clear the browser's local storage for the site or open an incognito window.
