Great Plugin – Works with Apple Pay / Google Pay
by juliepire·8 months ago·1 reply
Everything works great and the customer service is fantastic. Highly recommended!
If you are experiencing a conflict with Stripe / WooCommerce / ReCAPTCHA, that is preventing Apple Pay and Google Pay from processing orders – use this ReCAPTCHA plugin and it will fix that problem.

Use it from the start.
Not working
by Hagen·1 year ago·7 replies
Very complicated and it blocked even my own access to the backend without showing any captcha to act on. I wasted enough time with it and will delete it.

didn’t work
by vagabondtabby·1 year ago·1 reply
Installed just fine, created & added api keys, everything looked great, but when I look at my actual login & registration forms — which are the default ones — there’s no captcha. Seems to be a common problem with this plugin, which is a shame; I was hoping for an easier solution to this problem.
Quick and easy

Super easy to set up and worked straight away. I’ll be using this plugin on other client websites for sure!
