What it does
Online stores attract automated traffic: fake registrations, spam submissions and bots hammering the login form. Classic CAPTCHA boxes can stop some of it, but they also ask real shoppers to solve puzzles at the worst possible moment. This plugin adds bot protection to the WooCommerce checkout, login, registration and password reset forms, with options that range from a popup challenge to checks that run quietly in the background.
You choose the method that suits your store. reCAPTCHA v2 shows a popup challenge when verification is needed, while reCAPTCHA v3 scores visitors invisibly without interrupting them. If you prefer to avoid Google services, the honeypot method is a GDPR-friendly option that traps spambots with hidden fields. The plugin also includes an anti-bruteforce system for login attempts and a log of refused anti-spam submissions, so you can see what has been blocked.
Best for
- WooCommerce stores dealing with spam registrations or fake orders
- Shop owners who want bot checks without visible puzzles
- Stores in the EU wanting a GDPR-friendly honeypot option
Features
Google reCAPTCHA v2 support
Use the reCAPTCHA v2 popup challenge to verify visitors when a form is submitted, giving a familiar check that blocks automated submissions.
Invisible reCAPTCHA v3 scoring
reCAPTCHA v3 scores visitor behavior in the background, so shoppers can fill out forms without solving a challenge or clicking a checkbox.
GDPR-friendly honeypot method
A honeypot option catches spambots through hidden form fields, offering a privacy-minded alternative for stores that would rather not rely on Google reCAPTCHA.
Coverage for WooCommerce forms
Protection applies to the WooCommerce checkout, login, registration and password reset forms, the places bots most often target in an online store.
Small script of about 3 KB
The front-end protection runs from a minimal script of roughly 3 KB, keeping the added weight on your store pages small.
Anti-bruteforce protection
A built-in anti-bruteforce system helps defend your login form against repeated automated attempts to guess customer or admin passwords.
Refused submissions log
An anti-spam refusals log records blocked submissions, so you can review what the plugin stopped and confirm it is working as expected.
Selectable security method
Configuration settings let you pick the protection method that fits your store's needs and any privacy or compliance requirements you follow.

Questions about Invisible reCAPTCHA for WooCommerce
Which forms in my store does this protect?
It covers the WooCommerce checkout, login, registration and password reset forms. These are the forms bots usually target for fake accounts, spam and password attacks, so protection is focused where it tends to matter most in a shop.
Do I have to use Google reCAPTCHA?
No. Alongside reCAPTCHA v2 and reCAPTCHA v3, the plugin offers a honeypot method that does not depend on Google. It is described as GDPR-friendly, which makes it a reasonable choice if you want to keep third-party services off your checkout.
Will my customers have to solve a puzzle at checkout?
That depends on the method you choose. reCAPTCHA v3 and the honeypot both work in the background without asking shoppers to do anything. reCAPTCHA v2 shows a popup challenge when verification is needed.

Yes. The plugin is built for WooCommerce stores and requires WooCommerce to be active, since it adds its protection to WooCommerce's own checkout and account forms.
