Prevent spam entries

    We are getting spam entries through our Mollie form, of course not making the payment but other field are filled in. Is there a way to prevent spam entries e.g. using reCaptcha?

    Hi Tineke

    I was wondering when and if this would happen. Myself I use a service like Anti-Spam by CleanTalk, but Akismet is similar. They filter all traffic, works pretty good.

    There is no captcha in Paytium. It would be bad for conversions of real people. I am considering adding Invisible captcha:
    https://developers.google.com/recaptcha/docs/invisible

    Kind regards

    Thanks for the tips David, I have installed an antispam plugin now. I will let you know if we still receive fake entries.
    Invisble captcha also sounds like a good idea though.

    Thanks, I’ll research it.

    Anti-Spam by CleanTalk broke my form, each real entry was accompanied by a spam entry, I do not understand where the data came from but after disabling Anti-Spam and testing the form the entry was back to normal.
    I now have disabled Anti-Spam and set up WP-security (enabled: block Spambot comments & Basic Firewall Protection). I do not know if this also filters submissions in the Mollie form but we’ll see.
