Previously, you read how to add Google reCAPTCHA to Magento 2<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, I\u2019ve come up with a similar solution for Magento 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Captcha, i.e., C<\/strong>ompletely A<\/strong>utomated P<\/strong>ublic T<\/strong>uring test to tell C<\/strong>omputers and H<\/strong>umans A<\/strong>part, is a service by Google that prevents the store from spam and bots. Implementing Google reCAPTCHA v2<\/a> helps to identify if a visitor in your site is a human or a bot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Magento, by default, does not offer a reliable solution for security against spams, merchants have to rely on 3rd party solutions and the best choice is Google-developed anti-spam reCAPTCHA that displays the  \u201cI\u2019m not a robot\u201d checkbox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To add Google reCAPTCHA to Magento<\/strong><\/em>, you need to follow the given method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, check these steps prior to implementing the programmatic method:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Register for the public and secret key pair Magento store\u2019s domain.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Ensure if the reCAPTCHA authentication works for the subdomains as well to avoid any error.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Refer to Google reCAPTCHA documentation<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Method to Add Google reCAPTCHA to Magento :<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    1. Add the below script to any head or where you want to use google recaptcha<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <script src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/recaptcha\/api.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\" xml=\"space\"><\/script><\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    2. Add captcha code to phtml or block\/page where you want to add v2  google recaptcha in the form<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    \u00a0<div class=\"form-group required\"> \u00a0 \/\/change class as per themes\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <div class=\"g-recaptcha required\" id=\"recaptcha\"\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0data-sitekey=\"your-site-key\">\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/div>\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<div style=\"display:none\" id=\"error-msg\">\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <span><?php echo __('This is a required field.') ?><\/span>\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/div>\n\u00a0 \u00a0<\/div><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    3. If the captcha does not validate then add below code<\/p>\n\n\n\n
     <script>\n\u00a0 \u00a0 function checkCaptcha() {\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 if ((jQuery('#g-recaptcha-response').val()) === '') {\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 jQuery('#error-msg').css('display', 'block');\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 jQuery('#error-msg').css('color', '#df280a');\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 jQuery('#error-msg').css('font-size', 13);\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 return false;\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 }\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 else {\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 jQuery('#error-msg').css('display', 'none');\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 }\n\u00a0 \u00a0 }\n\u00a0 \u00a0<\/script><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    In any form, add onSubmit<\/strong><\/em> event like :<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    \u00a0 \u00a0<form class=\"form contact\" action=\"<?php echo $block->getFormAction(); ?>\" id=\"contact-form\" method=\"post\" data-hasrequired=\"<?php echo __('* Required Fields') ?>\" data-mage-init='{\"validation\":{}}' onSubmit=\"return checkCaptcha() ;\"><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    That\u2019s it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
