MTO Age Verification — Listing Content

A complete age verification module for PrestaShop

The MTO Age Verification module adds a configurable age gate to your PrestaShop store, so visitors confirm they meet a minimum age before they browse or buy. Stores that sell alcohol, tobacco, vaping products, knives, fireworks, or other adult-only goods can put a clear barrier in front of restricted content. The PrestaShop age verification module works on PrestaShop 1.7, 8, and 9, supports multistore, and ships in six languages: English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, and Polish.

You choose how strict the check is. The popup can ask for a simple checkbox confirmation (“I am at least 18”), a full date of birth that is validated server-side, or both at once. The minimum age is a single setting you control, and the same value is shown inside the badge and the texts automatically.

Key features at a glance:

• Age gate for the whole store or specific categories (child categories inherit the rule)
• Three verification methods: checkbox, validated date of birth, or both
• GDPR consent log with result, method, declared age, language, shop, timestamp and hashed IP — exportable to CSV
• Guest checkout protection with server-side enforcement and birthday auto-fill
• Automatic pass for logged-in customers who already meet the age on their account
• Fully customizable popup: title, message, colors, fonts, modal width, button labels
• Built-in 18+ badge in several styles, or upload your own icon image
• Cookie or session persistence with a configurable remember period
• Multistore support and 6 languages (EN, FR, ES, DE, IT, PL)
• Compatible with PrestaShop 1.7, 8 and 9; lifetime updates included

Three verification methods you can switch anytime

The checkbox method is the fastest: the visitor ticks a box and enters. The date-of-birth method renders day, month, and year selectors, calculates the exact age, and only lets through visitors who meet the threshold. The combined method requires both a valid birth date and the confirmation checkbox, which suits stores that want a stronger record of consent. Every method is logged the same way, so your compliance trail stays consistent no matter which one you pick.

Invalid dates are handled correctly. The day list adjusts to the selected month and year, so a visitor can never submit 31 February, and the age is recalculated on both the browser and the server.

GDPR consent logging built in

Each verification is written to a dedicated consent log: the result, the method used, the declared age, the minimum age in force, the shop, the language, a timestamp, and a hashed IP address. The raw IP is never stored. You can export the full log to CSV from the back office for data requests or audits. Consent logging is a toggle, so you can disable it if you prefer not to keep records.

This gives you a defensible record that an age check took place, which is exactly what most regulators and payment processors expect from stores selling age-restricted goods.

Gate the whole site or only specific categories

You can apply the age gate to the entire storefront, or restrict it to specific categories. When category scope is selected, the gate appears on matching category pages and on product pages that belong to those categories, and child categories inherit the rule automatically. A store that sells both everyday items and a small range of adult products can protect only the parts that need it, without annoying every visitor.

Guest checkout protection and account awareness

The module does more than a front-page popup. If a logged-in customer already has a birth date on their account that meets the minimum age, the popup is skipped and the pass is logged as an account-based consent. During guest checkout, a birth date entered below the threshold blocks the order, both in the browser and through server-side validation, so the rule cannot be bypassed. When a visitor has already confirmed a valid date in the popup, that date is auto-filled into the checkout birthday field to save them retyping it.

Full control over the look of the popup

Every visible element is configurable from the back office. You can set the minimum age, the modal width, the title and message text, the message font size, the checkbox label and alignment, and both button colors and labels. The built-in 18+ badge comes in several styles — a bold filled ring, a thin circle, a circle with an exclamation mark, or an octagon stop sign — with editable size, number color, ring color, circle background, and spacing. If you prefer your own artwork, you can upload a custom icon image (PNG, JPG, GIF, WEBP, or SVG). All popup texts are per-language, so each storefront language shows the right wording.

Licensing, updates, and compatibility

The module includes a License & Updates panel where you activate your license key and check for new versions, backed by the Moduleto license server. It installs cleanly on PrestaShop 1.7, 8, and 9, is multistore-aware (settings respect the current shop, group, or all-shops context), and follows PrestaShop coding standards for ObjectModel, hooks, and HelperForm. A single-store license includes lifetime updates and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
