Section titled New feature – WooCommerce guest checkout CAPTCHA (free version)

With this latest release, you now have the ability to use CAPTCHA on the WooCommerce classic guest checkout page.  Once activated, this significantly reduces the risk of fraudulent orders being placed by bots and ensures that genuine human guests are checking out.

This feature extends our existing suite of CAPTCHA options for WooCommerce, giving you even more protection from malicious bots.

select 'Enable CAPTCHA on the WooCommerce checkout page' button

To enable the guest checkout CAPTCHA option:

  1. Go to WP Security >> Brute Force >> CAPTCHA settings >>  WooCommerce forms CAPTCHA settings.
  2. Scroll down and click the ‘Enable CAPTCHA on the WooCommerce checkout page’ button.
  3. Click the Save settings button.

Note: For this option to appear, WooCommerce should be installed and activated.  In addition, please ensure you have selected a CAPTCHA from the Default CAPTCHA dropdown list

We fixed a display issue with Cloudflare’s Turnstile CAPTCHA which caused it to display twice on WooCommerce login and registration forms.
