<h1 style="text-align: center">Protect Your Site With reCaptcha</h1>
</blockquote>
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.
With increased spam and hacking attempts, the extension can act as an extra security gate to block bot traffic from making login attempts, checkouts, card checking, password resets, spam comments, and more. 
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.

<h2>Now with Checkout Rate Lmiter – Ultimate Solution for Carding Attacks (New)</h2>
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:
<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>

<h2>Supports V2 and V3 reCaptcha</h2>
With Google reCaptcha for WooCommerce, you can add V2 and V3 reCaptcha to your store – providing a strong solution for authenticating and validating customers who visit your online store. 
V2 recaptcha remains visible for everyone, whereas the V3 recaptcha appears only when suspicious traffic is detected and remains hidden for your real customers.

<h2>Add reCaptcha using Shortcode</h2>
Integrating Google reCaptcha into your website is made even more versatile with the inclusion of a shortcode feature. By enabling the Shortcode reCaptcha option, you can make any page of your website secure by reCaptcha by adding a shortcode [captcha_shortcode] on any desired page.

<h2>Supports reCaptcha.net</h2>
This WooCommerce reCaptcha extension provides advanced security measures and customization options for online stores. You can choose between Google.com and reCaptcha.net as the preferred reCAPTCHA type. The reCaptcha.net is preferable for countries where Google is blocked. The “No-Conflict Mode” ensures seamless integration by removing other CAPTCHA occurrences on that page to avoid site-breaking conflicts. 
<h2>General Settings</h2>
With additional customization options such as Recaptcha Field Title and a choice between Light and Dark themes, as well as Normal or Compact size, website administrators can seamlessly align reCaptcha with their site’s aesthetics and user experience preferences. 
The plugin allows the exclusion of specific countries and the option to disable reCAPTCHA for designated IP ranges, offering a tailored and robust security solution for WooCommerce websites.

Google reCaptcha

Protect your website from spam and bot attacks by adding reCaptcha to your WordPress & WooCommerce checkout, login, registration, reset password and other pages.

<h1 data-pm-slice="1 1 []">SecureGate Captcha: Advanced Bot Protection for Modern Online Stores</h1>

Automated threats are no longer just a nuisance—they directly impact store performance, skew analytics, and erode customer trust. SecureGate Captcha is purpose-built for WooCommerce merchants who demand reliable protection without disrupting the shopping experience for real customers.
