Confused about recaptcha

    I’m confused about how recaptcha is used in WP Simple Pay (Free version).

    I might be missing something (I probably am!), but as far as I can see, the free version only allows you to accept payments using the Stripe checkout on the Stripe website. So in this scenario how is recaptcha being applied? You can’t apply it to an external website.

    I could understand it if you the checkout and payment forms were embedded on my website, but they’re not.

    Please can someone explain? Does recaptcha actually get used?

    Thanks.

    Hello @danbooth,

    Stripe Checkout Sessions are ephemeral and require a new URL to be generated for each payment request. reCAPTCHA is used during this session generation step in WP Simple Pay before you are redirected to Stripe Checkout. You are correct though, once you are on the https://checkout.stripe.com website Stripe handles the rest of the requests.

    We recommend setting up and adding your reCAPTCHA information to protect the requests on the WP Simple Pay side of the transaction.

    Please let me know if you have any further questions.

    Thanks for the quick and informative response @spencerfinnell

    That clears things up for me. I’m no longer confused!

    I’ve already set up rCAPTCHA. I just wasn’t sure how (or if) it was working. Now I know ??
