Introduction to Google reCAPTCHA v3
This is a layer on top of the current CAPTCHA which analyzes the website behavior of visitors to block spam from bots while reducing friction for real users by eliminating CAPTCHA challenges. On all Shopify stores, this feature is enabled by default. When Google reCAPTCHA v3 is enabled, the reCAPTCHA logo appears in the bottom right-hand corner of all store pages. This is because the entire site visit is being tracked and visitors need to be notified for legal reasons.
The flagging behavior for reCAPTCHA v3 is based on the visit path of the website. The behavior of the visitor is tracked throughout the visit to see if it is a real person or a bot. However, if reCAPTCHA v3 is disabled or if the reCAPTCHA v3 score is low enough, it’ll revert to regular CAPTCHA.

CAPTCHA – Shopify Developers
How reCAPTCHA is included in themesShow a text disclaimer
By default, Shopify uses Google’s reCAPTCHA v3 to help prevent spam through customer, contact, and blog comment forms.
reCAPTCHA v3 analyzes website visitor behavior to provide a score indicating the likelihood of the visitor being a bot.
If the score is low enough, or too many requests are made within a short period of time, then Shopify falls back to reCAPTCHA v2 and the visitor is redirected to the /challenge page to complete the “I’m not a robot” challenge.
Merchants are able to disable reCAPTCHA functionality on the Online Store > Preferences page in the Shopify admin.
How reCAPTCHA is included in themes
The necessary code for the reCAPTCHA functionality is included through the content_for_header object. This means that if a merchant has reCAPTCHA enabled, but the content_for_header object is not present, then the reCAPTCHA functionality won’t be present.
The reCAPTCHA functionality is initialized based on the presence of customer, contact, and blog comment forms, and is triggered when the forms are interacted with. For example, the functionality is triggered when a user clicks into a text field of an associated form.
These forms are identified based on the action attribute of the form, as well as specific input attributes:
Form type
Form action attribute
Input attributes (included on a single input)
Customer
Contains /account
name=”form_type”
One of the following, depending on the form:
value=”customer_login”
value=”create_customer”
value=”recover_customer_password”
Contact
Contains /contact
value=”contact”
value=”customer”
Blog
Contains /blogs
value=”new_comment”
In addition to triggering the reCAPTCHA functionality on user interaction, a reCAPTCHA logo is added to the bottom right corner of the page to notify visitors of the behavior analysis. You can opt to show a text disclaimer with the form instead.
Show a text disclaimer
If reCAPTCHA is enabled and reCAPTCHA v3 has loaded, then the reCAPTCHA logo appears in the bottom right corner of any associated pages. You can choose to show a text disclaimer with the form, rather than this logo.
To do this, you need to include the following code within any forms you wish to change this for:
