In that case, the law requires you to **verify your customers’ age**, specifically **at the moment the purchase contract is concluded** – i.e., when the customer clicks the order submission button. In today’s guide, we will show you how to easily set up age verification in WooCommerce. ## How to verify age at the WooCommerce checkout? To verify customer age, you will need an **account with the Adulto.cz service**. This service offers multiple verification methods and is paid (typically just a few CZK per verification). You will also need the implementation **[Toret Adulto.cz plugin](https://www.toret.net/produkt/adulto-cz/)**, which connects your e-shop with this service. The plugin is available free of charge.
