If you find that you are receiving a lot of spam from email forms on your website, you can enable mail form protection in the form of CAPTCHA verification.
CAPTCHA generates a random string of characters that the customer must enter before they can submit their email.
This stops automated “bots” from spamming your email forms.
To enable this protection for your mail forms, you need to set the following in your shop configuration.
|
Xprotectemailforms |
If set to Yes, this will display a series of random characters on mailing forms that the customer must enter correctly before it can be submitted. This helps stop the form from being used by spam bots to generate spam. |
With VPCART, you have the option to choose which version you
want to use the Captcha method :
|
Xcaptchamethod |
The method of the Captcha that is present in your site. 1. recaptcha : more secured, but might be loading slow based on the network connection. 2. webwiz : Old but faster captcha method, but less secured. |
The default value for the xcaptchamethod is
webwiz.
