WooCommerce Advanced CAPTCHA Documentation
Advanced CAPTCHA puts a challenge on login, registration, checkout, reviews, comments and contact forms. It runs a self-hosted CAPTCHA that needs no keys, or Cloudflare Turnstile, Google reCAPTCHA or hCaptcha, behind an invisible honeypot, and logs every attempt. With Pro it locks out repeat attackers, stops card testing at checkout and refuses throwaway emails and whole countries.
