reCAPTCHA Integration in O2VEND

reCAPTCHA integration helps protect your O2VEND store from spam, fake submissions, and bot activity by validating user interactions before they are accepted.

Back Office -> Integration -> reCAPTCHA

The reCAPTCHA configuration screen includes these main fields:

  • reCAPTCHA: Paste the site key generated in Google reCAPTCHA
  • reCAPTCHA Validate: Enables or disables validation in your store
  • reCAPTCHA Secret: Paste the secret key used for secure verification
  • reCAPTCHA Validity Score: Defines how strict the bot validation should be

Validity Score Guidance

The validity score helps O2VEND decide whether a visitor is likely to be a real user or a bot.

  • 0.1 to 0.3: Very strict and may block more suspicious traffic
  • 0.4 to 0.6: Balanced protection for most stores
  • 0.7 and above: Indicates higher confidence that the visitor is genuine
Important

Choose the validity score carefully. A lower score applies stricter bot filtering, while a higher score allows more users to pass validation. For most cases, start with a balanced score and adjust based on your store traffic.

Once saved, reCAPTCHA will be active for the selected store and will help secure customer-facing interactions against spam and automated abuse.
