Score tuning
Google scores every protected request from 0.0 (almost certainly a bot) to 1.0 (almost certainly a person). CartWhizz refuses anything below your Minimum Score.
| Minimum Score | Effect |
|---|---|
| 0.3 | Lenient. Very few real shoppers blocked; some bots get through. |
| 0.5 (default) | Balanced. Google's recommendation. |
| 0.7 | Strict. Blocks more bots, but shoppers on shared or mobile networks, VPNs or new devices may be refused. |
How to tune
- Start at 0.5.
- If customers complain they can't log in or register, lower it to 0.3.
- If fake accounts keep appearing, raise it to 0.6–0.7 and watch for complaints.
Change it in Settings → Settings → Security → reCAPTCHA v3 → Minimum Score and click Save.
If Google's service can't be reached, CartWhizz lets the request through rather than lock everyone out.
