Introduction
Want to restrict Gravity Forms access based on the user’s age? It may be a requirement if you are collecting leads for age-restricted products, giving away items for adults only, or if you are organizing an event for children under a certain age. Whatever the case may be, we have got you covered with a no-code solution for adding age verification with Anti Spam Pro for Gravity Forms.
Why Use Anti Spam Pro for Age Verification
By using Anti Spam Pro for age verification in Gravity Forms, you get a seamless integration in your forms.
- You can allow form submission only above a specific age.
- You can allow form submission only for users of a specific age.
- You can allow form submissions below a specific age.
- You have full control over the text and buttons for the age verification process.
- It’s fast, and the UI feels part of the form itself.
- Set up separately for each form
- No external API calls.
Requirements
You will need the following plugins installed and activated for setting up age verification in Gravity Forms.
Steps to Adding Age Verification in Gravity Forms
Once you have installed and activated the required plugin, follow the steps below to set up age verification for any form.
- From your WordPress dashboard menu, navigate to Forms -> Booster.
- Select the form for which you want to enable age verification. You can set different age verification conditions for each form.
- Now go to the Anti Spam panel from the left sidebar and then click on the Validations section.
- Here, you can enable form validation, and under Verification Type, select the Age option.
- Configure other settings, such as age value, age criteria, heading, and button text, to customize it for your needs. You can read detailed documentation for the settings here.
- Once done then click on the Save button.
From now on, when the form is shown on the frontend, it will first ask for the age of the user. If the entered age is valid, only then will the form be shown; else, it will show the validation message.
Use Case
Consider that you are collecting leads for an age-gated music festival. It’s a late-night event where users 18+ should be allowed.
The Problem: If you don’t put an age restriction, then anybody can register/pay for the event, and this can lead to confusion and disagreements. You may have to process refunds and deal with user anger for not restricting the form by age.
The Solution: Add age verification using Anti Spam Pro for Gravity Forms, and in case someone’s age comes out to be less than 18, then give them a validation message like.
“You must be at least 18 years old to register for this event.”
Now this will reduce any manual work of scrutinizing the submitted leads for age, and also streamlines the process for users as well.
Final Thoughts
Anti Spam Pro for Gravity Forms gives you full control over the form. It has plenty of built-in features to prevent your forms from spam or unwanted submissions. This will keep your lead list clean and highly usable.
