Ratings

No one has rated this plugin on WordPress.org yet. That is a statement about the ratings page, not about the plugin — plenty of well-kept plugins never collect them.

External services

Google reCAPTCHA
This plugin integrates with Google reCAPTCHA to provide CAPTCHA verification during the checkout process, enhancing security and reducing spam.

  • What the service is used for:
    Google reCAPTCHA is used to verify human users and prevent automated bots from completing the checkout process.

  • What data is sent and when:
    When the CAPTCHA verification is triggered (e.g., during form submission or checkout), the plugin sends the following data to Google reCAPTCHA’s servers:

    • The CAPTCHA response token generated by the user’s interaction with the CAPTCHA widget (response).
    • The secret key associated with your Google reCAPTCHA account (secret).
    • Additional details such as locale settings may be included in the API call for displaying the CAPTCHA in the user’s preferred language.

  • Service Provider Details:

    • Google reCAPTCHA API: Terms of Service | Privacy Policy.

  • Domains involved:

    • https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify
    • https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js

By using this plugin, you agree to the terms and policies outlined by Google reCAPTCHA.

How do I access the plugin settings?

You can access the Checkout Captcha settings by navigating to WooCommerce > Checkout Captcha in the WordPress admin dashboard.

What tabs are available in the plugin settings?

The plugin settings include three tabs:
1. WooCommerce Forms: Add reCAPTCHA to WooCommerce login, registration, and checkout forms. You can enable or disable reCAPTCHA for guest checkouts.
2. WordPress Forms: Enable reCAPTCHA for WordPress login, registration, and password reset forms by checking the respective boxes.
3. Configuration: Enter your Google reCAPTCHA V2 site key and secret key. You can also test the reCAPTCHA setup after entering the correct API keys.

How do I test my Google reCAPTCHA configuration?

After submitting your site key and secret key in the Configuration tab, you will see a test captcha wizard in the header. You can test the reCAPTCHA setup directly from the admin panel to ensure that everything is functioning correctly.

How can I verify that I configured reCAPTCHA correctly?

After testing the reCAPTCHA response in the admin panel, you will see a success message in the menu header: “Success! reCAPTCHA seems to be working correctly with your API keys.”

What options do I have for displaying reCAPTCHA on the checkout page?

In the WooCommerce Forms tab, you can select a widget location for reCAPTCHA using a dropdown menu. Available options include:
– Before the Place Order button.
– After the Place Order button.
– Before the Terms and Conditions.
– After the Terms and Conditions.
– Inside the Terms and Conditions.
– Before Payment.
– After Payment.
– Before Billing.
– After Billing.
– Before Checkout Form.
– After Checkout Form.

You can also add more scenarios using the provided filter hook (jkmccfw_checkout_captcha_position_hook).

How can I enable reCAPTCHA for guest checkouts?

In the WooCommerce Forms tab, there is a checkbox labeled Guest Checkout Only. By checking this box, you can control whether reCAPTCHA is displayed for guest users during the checkout process.

Can I customize the appearance of reCAPTCHA?

Yes, in the Configuration tab, you can select the reCAPTCHA theme, choosing between light and dark themes to match your store’s design.

Is this plugin developer-friendly?

Absolutely! The plugin provides hooks and filters for advanced customization. You can use the following filters to customize the reCAPTCHA positioning and functionality:
– jkmccfw_checkout_captcha_position_hook: Customize the hook for displaying the reCAPTCHA.
– jkmccfw_checkout_captcha_position_hook_priority: Set the priority for the reCAPTCHA display hook.

What happens if I don’t enter the site key and secret key?

If the site key and secret key are not provided, the reCAPTCHA will not be displayed on the checkout or forms, and you will lack protection against spam and bot transactions.
