Overview
Google reCAPTCHA helps protect your PhotoBiz website from spam and automated submissions. You can add Google reCAPTCHA to your PhotoBiz account by generating keys through Google and saving those keys in your PhotoBiz Spam Protection settings.
This guide includes a video tutorial and written instructions so you can follow along at your own pace. By the end of this guide, your PhotoBiz website submissions will be connected to Google reCAPTCHA.
Go to the Google reCAPTCHA admin page at https://www.google.com/recaptcha/admin/create and log in with your Google account. This is where you will create the reCAPTCHA keys for your website.
Click the + icon in the top-right corner of the page to create a new reCAPTCHA profile.
Enter a label for your reCAPTCHA profile. The label can be your website name or address.
For the reCAPTCHA type, choose Challenge (v2), then select Invisible reCAPTCHA badge. In the Domains field, enter your website domain name, then click Submit.
Google will generate a Site Key and Secret Key for your website. Keep this page open or copy both keys somewhere secure so you can add them to your PhotoBiz account in the next section.
Log in to your PhotoBiz account, hover over the left side menu, and click MY ACCOUNT.
Hover over SETTINGS in the top menu and click SPAM PROTECTION.
Paste your Site Key and Secret Key into the matching fields. If there are existing reCAPTCHA keys already saved in these fields, replace them with the new keys you generated through Google.
Scroll down and click SAVE CHANGES.
Your Google reCAPTCHA keys are now saved in your PhotoBiz account. The Save Changes button automatically applies the update to your website.
To confirm your Google reCAPTCHA keys are working correctly, submit a test entry through one of the forms on your website. Google reCAPTCHA applies to submissions through your website, including forms and scheduler submissions.
If the test submission goes through normally, your keys are installed correctly. If the form does not submit, double-check that the Site Key and Secret Key were copied correctly and that the domain entered in Google reCAPTCHA matches your website domain.
Google reCAPTCHA includes an alert setting that can notify you if Google detects issues with your setup, such as a misconfiguration or an increase in suspicious traffic.
After your reCAPTCHA profile is created, you can return to the profile settings in Google and enable Send Alerts to Owners.
