Age-restricted products - WEBSALE Dokumentation

Many products are subject to an age restriction, an age rating, or an age recommendation. Typical examples are:

books
games, both mechanical and electronic
films
alcoholic drinks
tobacco products
knives and other products from the weapons category

The AgeRestricted field

For such products, you store in the WSPManager the age from which the purchase or the recommendation is permitted. The AgeRestricted field is provided for this.

AgeRestricted = 16

The product is therefore suitable from age 16, recommended from age 16, or may be sold from age 16. Which of the three meanings applies depends on the product and on the applicable legal situation. The shop evaluates the value as a number and does not make this distinction itself.

What the shop can do with it

The stored value can be used in three places. The first two concern the product lists, the third concerns shipping.

Feature	Description
Sorting	Sort products by age in ascending or descending order
Filtering	Show only products from a certain age, for example from 16 years
”Eigenhändig Plus” shipping method	The delivery agent checks the ID card and thereby verifies whether the recipient is allowed to accept the ordered goods

The first two points only affect the display. Only the “Eigenhändig Plus” shipping method ensures that the goods actually reach the correct recipient.
