reCaptcha 2.0.1 – Google Anti Spam
Description
reCaptcha is a PrestaShop module that helps stop bot-driven spam on your store by using Google’s anti-bot verification. It’s designed to confirm human activity before requests reach your forms and checkout flow, reducing unwanted submissions. For merchants using PrestaShop 1.7, it works smoothly with the one-page checkout experience, helping keep the buyer journey clean and uninterrupted. If you run PrestaShop 1.6, the module is not compatible with the one-page checkout option.
By adding reCAPTCHA-based human recognition, the module supports a more reliable customer experience without introducing unnecessary friction during checkout. It’s a straightforward way to strengthen storefront security while keeping shoppers focused on completing their order.
