About the Extension

Checkout Age Verification | FSK 18 Support | Automated Validation | Reduced Administrative Effort

The FSK Age Verification plugin allows you to implement age verification directly within your Shopware store. Assign FSK 18 restrictions to individual products or entire dynamic product groups and automatically verify customer age during checkout.

Verification is performed using the machine-readable zone (MRZ) of German identity cards. Successful verifications are stored within the customer account, eliminating the need for repeat checks on future purchases.

Ensure compliance with youth protection requirements while maintaining a smooth and conversion-friendly checkout experience.

Für deutsche Kunden sehr gut, alles darüber hinaus nicht

Im Prinzip macht das Plugin was es soll: Man gibt die IDD Daten eines gültigen Personalausweises ein und es wird das Alter verifiziert. Dies kann auch im Backend manuell für Kunden aktiviert werden. Zum Glück, denn alle Kunden, die keinen deutschen Personalausweis haben, müssen manuell freigeschaltet werden. Der manuelle Aufwand steigt damit enorm und viele Kunden sind zunächst verärgert.

Das Plugin ist nicht kompatibel mit Klarna Payments (egal welcher Zahlungsmethode von Klarna). Regelmäßig schlagen Zahlungen fehl, aber die Altersverifikation kommt problemlos durch. Keinerlei Probleme mit PayPal oder Vorkasse.

Für den Preis "nur" für deutsche Ausweise, ist doch etwas zu teuer. Es gibt bereits zwei Alternativen, die auch internationale Ausweisdokumente erlauben. Zum Zeitpunkt als wir dieses hier gekauft haben, jedoch noch nicht.

Der Support von 8mylez ist hervorragend! Hatten mal ein Ticket mit ihnen für ein anderes Plugin und da war der Service überragend. Denke das wäre hier nicht anders.
