crispy Simple Captcha Plugin for JTL-Shop from version 5.3

Are spam bots filling your contact, registration and question forms with junk? The Crispy Captcha puts a stop to it – right where it's safe: on your own server. Before every front-end POST form, the plugin checks a text-image challenge combined with an invisible honeypot trap. Bots fail; real customers barely notice a thing.

Perfect for shop operators who want to get rid of spam without handing visitor data to Google reCAPTCHA or other external services. Privacy-friendly by design – all data stays on the shop server.

Key features

Server-side protection: Text-image captcha plus honeypot in front of all front-end POST forms.
No external services: No Google reCAPTCHA, no data sharing – privacy-friendly, all data stays with you.
Ready to use instantly: Install, activate, done – no database, no further configuration needed.
Breaks nothing (fail-open): Shop-critical and AJAX forms (search, cart, login, wish list and others) are excluded out of the box.
Custom exceptions: Exclude additional forms from the captcha via a simple comma-separated list.
Switchable per form: Login, registration, forgotten password, contact, product question, product review and newsletter can each be turned on or off.
Works without GD: If PHP-GD is unavailable, an arithmetic challenge is used automatically instead of the image captcha.

3 months of technical support included.

Minimum requirements

JTL-Shop 5.3.x to 5.7.x (a dedicated build per shop version)

1.4.424 August 2026

FixedWith "Captcha on: other forms" switched on, nothing could be added to the basket any more: the buy form on the item page got a captcha and every purchase was silently rejected. Buy and wish list forms are now always exempt.

1.4.324 August 2026

FixedThe security check was labelled in German on English shop pages. Label and screen-reader text now follow the shop language.

1.4.211 August 2026

ImprovedThe security check is laid out more clearly: image and reload button side by side, the input field below. The button is now a proper control matching the image height.

1.4.111 August 2026

ImprovedThe button that reloads the security check now sits to the left of the image.

1.4.011 August 2026

NewThe security check can be reloaded: one click on the icon next to the image fetches a fresh challenge without losing what was typed into the form.

1.3.011 August 2026

ImprovedThe security check now sits above the submit button and lines up with the form fields instead of hanging below them on the left.
FixedThe “Captcha on: …” switches now take effect – previously every form got a captcha regardless of the setting.
FixedNo captcha in the header quick login or in the OnPage Composer toolbar any more.
FixedGerman umlauts in the error message and in the setting texts.

1.2.031 July 2026

ImprovedSpam protection is now tied to the licence. An unreachable licence server switches nothing off – the 30-day grace period still applies.
NewThe licence tab now shows the update period, the authorised version and – after a domain move – which domain the shop reports.
NewUpdates complete themselves: the plugin is registered with the shop automatically and the template cache is cleared.
FixedActivating and deactivating did not discard the cached licence data – the old message stayed on screen for up to five days.
FixedShop article description: it carried the description of a different plugin.

1.1.231 July 2026

ImprovedNo functional changes - housekeeping only.

1.1.131 July 2026

ImprovedAll settings and descriptions in German and English.
FixedEvery branch reports its own shop line in info.xml again.
