reCAPTCHA is a security tool created by Google that helps protect your store from bots, spam, and automated attacks. It checks whether the action on your website (such as login, signup, or checkout) is performed by a real human instead of a script or malicious software.

We support Google reCAPTCHA v2 Invisible, which means the protection runs in the background without interrupting the user experience. Customers don’t see a checkbox or puzzle unless Google detects suspicious activity.

Why reCAPTCHA is Helpful

Enabling reCAPTCHA improves security and reduces:

1. Fake signups

Bots often create large numbers of fake accounts. reCAPTCHA blocks them.

2. Automated login attacks

It helps prevent brute-force attempts where bots try many passwords on customer accounts.

3. Spam in forms

Any form on the site (contact form, newsletter, signup) becomes more secure.

4. Fraud prevention

Automated bots sometimes place fake or malicious orders to abuse COD, discounts, coupon codes or inventory. reCAPTCHA blocks such automated checkout attempts and helps ensure that orders are placed only by real users.

5. Server overload

Bot traffic can slow down or overload your store. reCAPTCHA filters out most automated requests before they cause issues.

Why We Use Invisible v2 reCAPTCHA

Invisible reCAPTCHA v2 provides strong protection without interrupting your customers.

Benefits include:

• No popup challenges in normal situations
• No “I’m not a robot” checkbox
• Minimal friction during login, signup, and checkout
• Better conversion rates compared to v3 and classic puzzles

Google only challenges a user if the activity looks suspicious.

How It Works in Your Store

To use reCAPTCHA, the vendor must generate:

• Site Key
• Secret Key

These are created in the Google reCAPTCHA admin console and added inside your admin panel settings.

Once enabled:

• All supported forms automatically start using reCAPTCHA
• Suspicious traffic is blocked
• Legitimate customers continue seamlessly
