I would like the 'remember visitor' option to include hours.

Due to the products we sell being restricted to over 18s, having hours as an option as opposed to the minimum being 0 or 1 day, would allow our customers to browse our site and place an order without having to repeat age verification but would also help to ensure nobody underage can use someone else's account who has already verified their age to access our site. We had this set to '0' however it seems to be frustrating our customers so having an option to select a certain number of hours may help avoid this.

    Hi Helga

    I set this to 0.084 as suggested expecting it to remember me for 2 hours,
    however I don't believe this is working correctly.

    When I was in customize mode in my store the age verification box kept
    popping up every 20/30 seconds, and when I was viewing my store it popped
    up every time I swapped between pages and moved back to my home page.

    Apologies I'm still learning how all this stuff works, but can you confirm
    the remember function does this apply to everyone such as people simply
    browsing our site, or does this only apply to registered and logged in
    users?

    If you could look into this and offer any advice it would be appreciated.

    Kind regards
    Amanda

    Hi Amanda,

    Thank you for your kind reply!

    Absolutely, you're welcome to add any value to the widget Remember Visitor option manually, it will work just fine.

    Just in case, I've attached an image oh how this should look like in the widget.

    Please let me know if it worked 🙂

    Hi Helga

    Not really sure what I need to say but sending a reply to the message as
    requested.

    Thanks

    Thanks Helga

    I appreciate development like this will take time.

    So based on your example if we set this to 0.084 would this mean the
    remember visitor would work for 2 hours?

    I believe that would be enough time to achieve what we require.

    Do you have any guidance on how we would do this as I thought the app only
    allows us to select from the drop down menu I wasn't aware we could alter
    this ourselves.

    Kind regards
    Amanda

    Hi John,

    Thank you for adding your request!

    I'd love to say that at the moment, our Age Verification app works the following way: any number you insert to this setting gets multiplied by 86400 (seconds). Thus, you can recalculate the needed initial number to get the result you need.

    For instance, a value of 0.042 roughly equals one hour.

    Please let me know if it helped :)
