In the US, businesses that sell or distribute age-restricted content must verify that customers are at least 18 years old. Other countries also enforce strict age verification laws for age-restricted content to ensure legal compliance and protect minors.
The requirement applies to various types of products and services, such as alcohol, tobacco, gambling, and certain forms of online content. Even if only one product or aspect of your website falls under these age restrictions, you need to implement age verification measures. Otherwise, you can face a fine of up to $10,000 per day.
To help your site comply with these legal requirements, Amasty has released AgeCheck: Age Verification for Wix. This app makes it easy to create age verification popups on your Wix website, ensuring you stay compliant and avoid hefty fines.
Key Features of AgeCheck
Let’s take a look at what the AgeCheck app allows you to do:
1. Easily Create Popups in Just a Few Clicks
To add age verification to a Wix store with AgeCheck, you need just a few clicks or a couple of minutes. The app’s intuitive interface is perfect for website owners who need to quickly implement age validation without having to deal with complex settings or coding.
2. Customize Popup Text, Text Colors, and Buttons
You can change the text to match your website's tone, adjust text colors for better visibility, and customize the "Admit" and "Reject" age verification buttons to fit your site's design.
3. Redirect Underage Users to a Specific URL
If a user does not meet the age requirements, you can redirect them to a specific URL. This could be a page explaining your site's age restrictions, a parental guidance page, or any other URL you choose.
4. Specify How Many Days the Popup Remembers Visitors' Choices
Our age checker app allows you to set how many days the popup remembers a visitor's age verification choice. This means that returning visitors won't have to go through the age verification process repeatedly, enhancing their user experience.

You can install AgeCheck: Age Verification from the official listing on the Wix app store.
It’s available for just $1.49 per month, or $1.29 per month when billed annually. Plus, you can try out all its features within a 7-day free trial that lets you see the benefits firsthand before subscription commitments.
