Restricting Underage Users from your hotel website can be an important aspect of your hotel business. And that is why we need Age Verification on our hotel website.
The average minimum age for someone to book a hotel is 18 years but it can vary from 16 to 21. Many times we sell wines, liquor, and other services from our website that are not suitable for minors.
Many governments act like COPPA also restrict us to take personal information from underage users. So we have developed the QloApps Age Verification add-on to restrict underage users from your website.
Let us understand the features and working of this module.
