EU CAPTCHA for WooCommerce

Frequently Asked Questions

• How do I add EU CAPTCHA to a WooCommerce store?

  Install the EU CAPTCHA WordPress plugin via wp-admin → Plugins → Add New. After activation, go to Settings → EU CAPTCHA, enter your sitekey and secret key, and enable the WooCommerce-specific options such as checkout, login, registration, and lost password forms. The plugin handles widget rendering and token verification automatically.

• Does EU CAPTCHA protect WooCommerce checkout and registration forms?

  Yes. The EU CAPTCHA WordPress plugin integrates with WooCommerce's action hooks to add the invisible verification widget to the checkout page, customer login form, account registration form, and lost password form. Token verification happens server-side before WooCommerce processes orders or creates customer accounts.

• Is there a dedicated WooCommerce plugin for EU CAPTCHA?

  EU CAPTCHA uses a single WordPress plugin that covers both WordPress core forms and WooCommerce forms. After installing the EU CAPTCHA plugin, you see separate toggle options for WooCommerce checkout, login, registration, and other WooCommerce-specific form points in the plugin settings page.

• How do EU CAPTCHA prevent spam orders in WooCommerce?

  EU CAPTCHA adds invisible background verification to the WooCommerce checkout form. Before WooCommerce processes an order, the EU CAPTCHA token is verified server-side. Automated bots submitting checkout forms without completing the background verification will have their requests rejected, preventing fake orders, carding attempts, and payment fraud.

• Does EU CAPTCHA work on WooCommerce's product review forms?

  Yes. WooCommerce product reviews use WordPress's standard comment submission pipeline. Enable the EU CAPTCHA plugin's comment form protection option, and the invisible widget is added to all comment and review forms on your WooCommerce store, preventing fake reviews and review spam.

• How do I protect the WooCommerce lost password form with EU CAPTCHA?

  In the EU CAPTCHA plugin settings, enable the lost password form option under the WooCommerce section. The plugin hooks into WooCommerce's woocommerce_lostpassword_form action and adds the widget automatically. Token verification occurs before WooCommerce sends the password reset email, preventing abuse of the password reset flow.

• Is EU CAPTCHA GDPR compliant for WooCommerce stores?

  Yes. EU CAPTCHA is operated by an EU-based company, is hosted entirely in Germany, and does not rely on US cloud providers or infrastructure subject to US surveillance laws. The service processes only the data necessary to provide and verify the CAPTCHA (such as IP address and technical browser or device information) in line with the requirements of the GDPR. Your organization remains responsible for providing transparent privacy information, selecting an appropriate legal basis, and obtaining any required consent for your specific WooCommerce implementation.
