BookingPress Google Captcha Integration Addon

Description

Google Captcha Integration addon adds Google reCAPTCHA validation to BookingPress scheduling forms, displaying the anti-automation challenge before reservation confirmation and blocking submissions triggered by bots. By connecting your site and secret reCAPTCHA keys in the base plugin settings, you protect online schedules against spam, false bookings, and automated attempts that clutter service providers’ calendars.

Main Features

• reCAPTCHA validation at checkout: inserts the Google widget directly into the final step of BookingPress booking form.
• Setup via Google keys: integrates the Site Key and Secret Key obtained from the reCAPTCHA console into the plugin’s admin panel.
• Blocking automated submissions: rejects booking requests that fail verification before recording entries in the database.
• Compatibility with booking flow: keeps all scheduling steps — service, professional, date, and payment selection — without altering the customer journey.
• Activation via simple configuration: enables or disables verification through BookingPress general options.

Benefits of Google Captcha Integration Addon

• Clean calendar: prevents false bookings generated by scripts that would occupy slots without real attendance.
• Less moderation effort: reduces time spent by staff reviewing suspicious bookings and canceling invalid entries.
• Protection of notification channels: decreases triggering of emails and automatic messages to nonexistent addresses filled by bots.
• Reliability in reports: keeps booking statistics close to actual operations, free from automated traffic noise.

Who Is It For?

• Freelancers and clinics receiving public bookings through the website and facing frequent spam attempts.
• Agencies and service providers using BookingPress as their main acquisition channel and needing to secure the form.
• Schedule-based businesses — salons, offices, studios, and instructors — that depend on a calendar free from fraudulent bookings.

Recommended for those operating BookingPress on publicly exposed sites and wanting to prevent bots from occupying slots or polluting the client base with fake registrations.
