End-user flow
You will need to decide how you want your user flow to be. Please see below as an example:
The user will choose which product they want to purchase.
The user will then go to the cart page. The products requiring age verification will show 'Age-restricted product' next to them.
Then the user will proceed to the checkout page. Here, they will need to click the 'Verify Your Age' button
The user will then be prompted to perform Yoti Age verification by any of the allowed methods.
Once the user has completed age verification, they will taken back to the checkout page which will show a confirmation message. They will then click the 'Place Order' button to confirm their order.
