Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about SpamOff – Spam & Bot Protection
Yes. The Block Checkout uses the Store API, and SpamOff injects a v3 token into the checkout request's extension data, then verifies it server-side before the order is built. The token refreshes automatically every 80 seconds (and immediately when the customer returns to the tab) so it never goes stale during a long checkout. Block Checkout always uses v3 — even if v2 is selected in the settings, v2 only applies to Classic Checkout and other forms.
Yes. The plugin declares compatibility on before_woocommerce_init.
Use the [spamoff_bot_protection] shortcode inside the form. You can pass an action attribute to label the reCAPTCHA action: [spamoff_bot_protection action="my_form"].
The minimum score may be too strict. Lower Minimum Score in General Settings (try 0.3) and test again. Google adjusts scores based on reputation, so brand-new sites tend to score lower until they accumulate traffic.
Make sure the Site Key in your settings is a v2 key (not a v3 key — they are not interchangeable in Google's admin console), the Checkout Page form is enabled in Advanced Settings, and that you are using the Classic Checkout (the Block Checkout does not support v2).
This plugin relies on Google reCAPTCHA, a third-party service, to function. By using this plugin you agree to Google's terms and acknowledge their privacy policy: Terms of Service: https://policies.google.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
On every frontend page where the plugin is active and a Site Key is configured, the plugin enqueues Google's reCAPTCHA JavaScript from https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js. Loading this script allows Google to set cookies and collect information about the visitor as described in Google's privacy policy. This page-wide load is a requirement of how reCAPTCHA v3 generates score-based tokens. When a visitor submits one of the protected forms (or, for the Block Checkout, when the v3 token is generated), the plugin sends the reCAPTCHA token and the visitor's IP address to Google's siteverify endpoint (https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify) for validation. No other third-party calls are made by the plugin.
