Spam Protection

Protect your payment forms from spam, bots, and automated abuse using powerful verification tools integrated with WP Easy Pay. Spam submissions can lead to fake transactions, unnecessary server load, and security risks. To help prevent this, WP Easy Pay provides built-in support for multiple trusted CAPTCHA and bot-protection services.

You can easily enable spam protection on your forms using one of the following services:

Introduction to Google reCAPTCHA

What is reCAPTCHA?

ReCAPTCHA is a security service provided by Google that helps protect websites from spam, bots, and automated attacks. It works by checking whether an action on a website is performed by a real human or an automated script (bot).

Why reCAPTCHA Is Useful with Payment Forms

Payment forms are a common target for spam and fraud attempts. Using reCAPTCHA with WP Easy Pay helps to:

• Prevent fake or automated payment submissions
• Reduce spam entries on payment and donation forms
• Improve overall security of transactions
• Protect your website from abuse and suspicious activity

By enabling reCAPTCHA, only genuine users can submit payment forms, making transactions safer and more reliable.

Differences Between reCAPTCHA V2 and reCAPTCHA V3

reCAPTCHA V2

• Shows a visible checkbox like “I’m not a robot.”
• Sometimes asks users to select images
• Requires user interaction
• Easy to understand and verify visually
• Best for sites that want clear user confirmation

reCAPTCHA V3

• Works in the background (no checkbox)
• Uses a score system to detect suspicious activity
• No user interaction required
• Provides a smoother user experience
• Best for modern websites that want invisible protection

Which One Should You Choose?

• Choose reCAPTCHA V2 if you prefer visible user verification and simple setup.
• Choose reCAPTCHA V3 for invisible protection without interrupting the payment flow.

Both options help secure WP Easy Pay forms—you can select the version that best fits your website’s needs.
