Configuring reCaptcha for the Marketplace
Obtaining your Google reCaptcha keys
To prevent your website from being overloaded by spambots or brute force entry, you can implement Google reCaptcha to minimise the impact of spam submissions and unauthorised entry.
Get your Google reCaptcha from here (ensure you have a Google Account to apply).
The pop up will look like this:
NOTE:
Omnyfy v4 uses reCaptcha v3
Omnyfy v2 uses reCaptcha v2
Once submitted, you can obtain your keys - eg the example below:
Configuring reCaptcha (Omnyfy v4)
There are 2 tabs that need to be configured.
Admin Panel
This is configured from the admin under Stores > Settings > Configuration > Security > Google reCAPTCHA Admin Panel
Here you can select what kind of Captcha you would like to set up. For the most part, you will just need to populate these reCaptcha V3 Invisible fields.
reCAPTCHA v3 Invisible
Populate your v3 keys here for back-end implementation:
- Google API Website Key
- Google API Secret Key
You can use the system defaults for the remaining fields.
reCAPTCHA Failure Messages
You can edit messages if needed, simply untick the "Use system value" to modify the values.
Admin Panel
Here you can enable reCaptcha module for the backend login to the marketplace admin. In order to edit each field, you will need to deselect the "Use system default" check box on the right, and choose reCAPTCHA v3 Invisible in the dropdown.
Now you can simply Save Config.
Storefront
This is configured from the admin under Stores > Settings > Configuration > Security > Google reCAPTCHA Storefront
The fields managed in here will be the same as the Admin Panel, however the difference is purely on where you'd like to place/apply the reCaptcha on the front end instead. Simply configure the same fields for reCAPTCHA v3 Invisible and reCAPTCHA Failure Messages, like you did with the Admin Panel, then configure the Storefront section.
Storefront
In order to edit each field, you will need to deselect the "Use system default" check box on the right, and choose reCAPTCHA v3 Invisible in the dropdown.
