Description

Spam Defender – Review Captcha for WooCommerce helps you reduce spam product reviews by adding a captcha verification before review submission.

With this plugin, customers must solve a captcha before submitting a review, which ensures that only genuine users can leave feedback on your WooCommerce products.
Features:
* Adds captcha to WooCommerce product review forms.
* Blocks spam bots from auto-submitting fake reviews.
* Lightweight and easy to use.
* No coding knowledge required.
* Compatible with latest versions of WordPress and WooCommerce.
This plugin provides a simple but effective solution to keep your product reviews section clean and trustworthy.

External services

This plugin uses Google reCAPTCHA to protect the WooCommerce product review submission form from spam and automated bots.

It connects to the Google reCAPTCHA service in two ways:
1. Frontend Integration: It loads the reCAPTCHA JavaScript API from https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js on the product page to display the captcha challenge.
2. Server-Side Verification: When a user submits a review, the plugin sends the reCAPTCHA response token to Google’s verification endpoint (https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify) along with the Secret Key and the user’s IP address to confirm the validity of the captcha challenge. This data is sent only upon review submission.

  • Service: Google reCAPTCHA
  • Purpose: Spam and bot protection for WooCommerce product reviews.
  • Data Sent:
    • Reviewer’s IP address (Sent to Google for verification when a review is submitted).
