<p><span style="font-weight: 400">With the WooCommerce reCaptcha extension, you can add Google reCaptcha to WordPress and WooCommerce login, registration, password pages, checkout, comments, and more. You can also add reCaptcha on any page using the shortcode. The extension supports v2 and v3 versions of Google Invisible captcha.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400">By using the invisible reCaptcha v3 version, you ensure that the captcha only appears to suspicious visitors and remains hidden from your valuable and real customers. You can also customize the spam score of V3 reCaptcha as per your website’s needs.</span></p>

<h2>Now with Checkout Rate Lmiter – Ultimate Solution for Carding Attacks (<strong>New</strong>)</h2>
<p>Limit manual carding testing attacks in your WooCommerce store using checkout rate-limiting technology. While reCaptcha stops bot-based carding attempts by recognizing the repeating patterns, the rate limiter will now complement reCaptcha by restricting users from making multiple checkout attempts within a specified period. This makes Google reCaptcha for WooCommerce the ultimate solution for all sorts of carding attempts. With the checkout rate limiter’s enhanced settings, you can:</p>
<ul>
<li>Add rate limiter limits</li>
<li>Add time for which the place order button will be disabled when all attempts are exhausted</li>
<li>Add an error message to show when the rate limiter is triggered</li>
<li>Add IPs for which rate limiter will be disabled</li>
<li>Add IPs for which the place order button will be disabled</li>
<li>Add emails for which the place order button will be disbaled</li>
<li>Add user roles for which rate limiter will be disabled</li>
</ul>
