Thanks! This solved it for me and the sticky badge is hidden now.
Much appreciated
Topic summary
Goal: Disable Google reCAPTCHA (Google anti‑spam challenge) on Shopify pages loaded via Ajax (asynchronous content loading).
Key findings/constraints:
- The admin toggle to disable reCAPTCHA in Preferences appears to be available only on Shopify Plus. Standard plans (e.g., $79/mo) may not see this option.
- Recommended action: contact Shopify Support to request reCAPTCHA be disabled at the store level.
User reports after using available settings:
- Unchecking Spam Protection options (contact/comment forms; login/create account/password) does not fully remove the challenge; it can still appear after form submit, even many hours later.
- UX issue on mobile: after newsletter submit, the page scrolls to the form while the challenge renders at the top, making it invisible to the user.
Workarounds discussed:
- CSS snippet to hide the sticky badge: .grecaptcha-badge { display: none !important; }
- Outcome: hides the badge for some, but does not disable the actual challenge (criticized as a cosmetic fix).
Status/outcome:
- No definitive in-thread fix for non‑Plus stores. Most reliable path is to file a request with Shopify Support. Discussion remains open.
