Human Verification

Overview

Squirrelcart uses reCAPTCHA to verify that users filling out some of the forms in Squirrelcart are humans and not spam bots. Use of reCAPTCHA is free, and easy to setup.

How it Works

When reCAPTCHA is enabled for a particular form in Squirrelcart, your customer will see a reCAPTCHA field at the bottom of the form:

They will need to enter the two words seen in the box correctly. If they do, they will be allowed to submit the form. If they do not, they will receive an error.

Setup Instructions

Open your store settings page
Scroll to the Human Verification field set:
Click the link labeled Click here to signup for reCAPTCHA
This will take you to reCAPTCHA's website in a new window. Follow the instructions to generate a public and private key.
Check the Enabled field
Copy your public and private keys from reCAPTCHA's website into the corresponding reCAPTCHA Public Key and reCAPTCHA Private Key fields on your Store Settings page.
Change the reCAPTCHA Theme field if you wish, which controls the appearance of the reCAPTCHA field on your forms.
Now that you've enabled reCAPTCHA, you need to tell Squirrelcart where you would like to use it. You can do so by checking the fields in the Usage section corresponding to the forms you wish to protect with reCAPTCHA. The recommended settings for that section are what is shown in the image above.
