# Protect your forms with Google reCAPTCHA

Google **reCAPTCHA** helps protect your marketplace from spam and automated messages.

Once enabled, visitors will need to confirm they are human before submitting certain forms.

You can add reCAPTCHA protection to the following forms:

* Marketplace contact form
* Supplier contact form
* User registration form

---

# 1. Create your reCAPTCHA keys

Before activating reCAPTCHA in your marketplace, you need to generate your **Google reCAPTCHA keys**.

## Go to:

👉 [https://cloud.google.com/security/products/recaptcha](https://cloud.google.com/security/products/recaptcha)

## Create a new reCAPTCHA configuration, click "Get started".

![reCAPTCHA setup](https://cdn.kreezalid.com/kreezalid/557766/files/999481/recaptcha_0.png)

## Fill in the following fields:

### **Label**
Choose a name for your website (for example: *My Marketplace*).

### **reCAPTCHA type**
Select:
**Challenge v2 → "I'm not a robot" Checkbox**

### **Domains**
Enter your domain name **without**:

* `https://`
* `www`
* any subdomain

Example:

```
mymarketplace.com
```

### **Project Name**
Choose a name for your Google project.

### Accept Google's terms and submit the form.

Google will then generate two keys for you:

* **Site Key**
* **Secret Key**

⚠️ **Important**
Keep these two keys — you will need them to activate reCAPTCHA in your marketplace.

## Save your settings.

---

# 3. You're done!

## reCAPTCHA is now active.

Visitors will see the **"I'm not a robot" checkbox** before submitting the selected forms.

This helps prevent spam and automated submissions on your marketplace.

# 💡 Tips

## **Test the protection**

After activating reCAPTCHA, try submitting one of the protected forms to make sure the checkbox appears correctly.

## **You can change the protected forms anytime**

Simply return to:

```
Admin → Apps → ReCaptcha
```

and update your settings.

# ⚠️ Troubleshooting

## **reCAPTCHA does not appear on the form**

Check that:

* the **domain is correct in Google reCAPTCHA settings**
* the domain was added **without `https://`**
* the **Site Key and Secret Key are correct**

**Example of a correct domain configuration**

```
mymarketplace.com
```

**Incorrect examples**

```
https://mymarketplace.com
www.mymarketplace.com
admin.mymarketplace.com
```
