The plugin is not currently available in the official JTL plugin store. We will publish the plugin there as soon as possible.

Follow these steps to configure TrustCaptcha in your JTL-Shop instance:

You can activate CAPTCHA for any JTL shop features supported by our CAPTCHA plugin. To do this, use the search function in the admin area and search for spam protection. Then set the value of Enable spam protection to Yes.

If you do not want to or cannot use the search function, you can find the settings here:

The JTL shop then decides, based on your settings, when and where TrustCaptcha is required and therefore displayed.

Once you have successfully installed and configured TrustCaptcha on your website, you can use TrustCaptcha to its full extent. However, we still recommend the following additional technical and organizational measures:

• Security rules: You can find many security settings for your CAPTCHA in the CAPTCHA settings. These include, for example, authorized websites, CAPTCHA bypass for specific IP addresses, bypass keys, IP based blocking, geoblocking, individual difficulty and duration of the CAPTCHA, and much more. Learn more about the security rules.

• Data protection: Include a passage in your privacy policy that refers to the use of TrustCaptcha. We also recommend that you enter into a data processing agreement with us to stay GDPR-compliant. Learn more about data protection.

• Accessibility: Customize TrustCaptcha to your website so that your website is as accessible as possible and offers the best possible user experience. More about accessibility.

• Testing: If you use automated testing, make sure that the CAPTCHA does not block it. Learn more about testing.
