Merchants can add reCAPTCHA (powered by Google) to their checkout experience for added security against bot attacks (e.g., a bot quickly checking out with many different credit cards). Bolt’s reCAPTCHA adds no friction to the shopper’s checkout experience.

When reCAPTCHA is enabled, merchants can set a threshold (between 0.1-0.9) for accepting orders. Shoppers given a score above the defined threshold receive a reCAPTCHA token associated to their cart that allows them to complete checkout.

reCAPTCHA failure

If a shopper fails reCAPTCHA, an error is presented and they must try to check out again.
