About age restrictions on items
With Square for Retail, you can set age restrictions on items in your Item library. Use age restrictions to prompt for age verification when you sell age-restricted items from the Square Retail POS app.
Before you begin

Age restrictions are intended to help you comply with local regulations. Block, Inc. is not responsible for the sale of age-restricted items to minors.
