What’s New in Bagisto v1.3.2?
Google Captcha Integration
Google Captcha helps protect your eCommerce store from spam and password decryption by asking your customer/visitors to complete a simple test.
This proves that they are human and not a computer that is trying to break into a password-protected account.
Moreover, the customer will find the Google Captcha on the three screens below:
Customer Login Page
Screen 2: Customer Sign-up Page
Screen 3: Forgot Password Page
Also, the merchant can go to Configure>>Customer>>Captcha to successfully use Captcha Integration for your store.
Immediately, here you need to enter the Site Key and Secret Key to successfully use this feature.
Also, to get these keys, firstly, you need to register your website with Google reCAPTCHA.
After that, click on the v3 Admin Console to go further.
At this time, you will find the page below, where you have to register your new site.
Also, here you need to enter the site Label and select the reCAPTCHA type as shown in the image below.
Then click on accept the reCAPTCHA terms of service. Also, select send alerts to owners.
After that, finally, you got both Site Key and Secret Key for your website.

Also, here the admin can choose a locale for the admin panel based on their preferences (those are already added in Bagisto default locale section).
