Protect your store from spam with hCaptcha!

hCaptcha Anti-Spam
$60.00

A captcha is needed where bots flood the forms, but you pay for it with the shopper's attention and with their data. hCaptcha solves the same problem differently: up to a million checks a month are free, and the service does not track users across the web — which matters for data protection compliance.

Which forms it protects

  • Sign-in, registration and profile editing, password recovery.
  • Checkout and order tracking.
  • Newsletter subscription and back-in-stock notifications.
  • Gift certificate purchase.
  • Call requests and one-click buying.
  • Custom forms and the forms of the «Comments and reviews» add-on.
  • The phone number confirmation field.

Keeping it out of the shopper's way

The check can be switched off for signed-in users and for guests after their first correct answer — which saves both service requests and people's time. There is a list of excluded countries. It works in the Ultimate and Multi-Vendor editions.

Support and updates

The settings are explained in the documentation. Six months of free updates, questions through HelpDesk.

FAQ

How much does the hCaptcha service cost?

The free tier covers up to a million requests a month, which is enough for most stores.

Can it run alongside other anti-spam add-ons?

Yes — with Honeypot CAPTCHA, for example: the hidden field stops simple bots without showing a human anything at all.

We build, upgrade and speed up CS-Cart stores and marketplaces

Analysts, developers, designers, QA and support under one roof — no subcontractors. We ship add-ons you can buy on this page today, and we take on the work that no ready-made add-on covers.

Two add-ons that change how a store performs

Everything else we publish improves one screen. These two change the numbers: how customers find products, and how often they come back.

 

Add-on · Search & merchandising

Smart Search

Elasticsearch-powered search for large catalogues. The customer types two letters, sees products with images and prices, and buys from the dropdown — even after a typo or with the wrong keyboard layout.

Visitors who use the search bar are 24% of traffic and 44% of revenue, and convert about 2.5× better than people who only browse categories. If search returns nothing, up to 80% of them leave.
Constructor, Beyond Relevance Report 2025; Google Cloud × The Harris Poll, 2023

Catalogue size Sub-second results on 300,000+ products, Multi-Vendor included
Understands Typos, wrong keyboard layout, synonyms, word forms, SKUs, brands and attributes
Reporting Query analytics — what customers search for and which searches return nothing
Deployment Our cloud, or Elasticsearch on your own server

from $35/month

Add-on · Mobile commerce

PowerApp — mobile app for your store

A native iOS and Android app running on your CS-Cart data: the same products, prices, stock, promotions, reward points and orders. There is no second catalogue to maintain — everything stays in the admin panel you already use.

A mobile site brings a customer in once; an app brings them back for free. Push notifications replace the retargeting budget you spend to buy the same customer a second time.

Platforms Native iOS and Android, published under your own developer account
Home screen Built in the admin panel from six block types, the same way you build website pages
Time to launch Under a week from purchase to submission for App Store and Google Play review
Compatibility CS-Cart and Multi-Vendor 4.18–4.20 · 11 client apps already live in the stores

Services

When no add-on solves it, we do the work

Fixed scope, written specification, a named project manager and a warranty on what we ship.

Custom CS-Cart development

Functionality the platform does not have: add-ons, marketplace mechanics, integrations with 1C, CRM, ERP, payment and delivery providers. We start from a written specification, not from an estimate on a phone call. Details →

CS-Cart upgrade

Move to the current version without losing data, custom code or add-ons. We audit every modification first, upgrade on a staging copy, adapt what breaks and switch over with little or no downtime. Details →

Speed and performance optimisation

Conversion falls by about 4.4% for every extra second of load time. We profile the server, the database and the front-end, then fix what actually costs the seconds — and show you the before-and-after numbers. Details →

Design for CS-Cart

Mobile-first storefront design built on CS-Cart's own template structure, so the layout survives the next platform upgrade instead of becoming a migration problem. Details →

SEO for CS-Cart

A technical audit of indexing, duplicates, redirects, structured data and Core Web Vitals — delivered as a prioritised fix list your developers can act on, or that we implement ourselves. Details →

How we work

What you get besides the code

Before we start

We discuss the goal, offer options and write the specification. You approve scope and price before development begins.

While we build

A named project manager reports progress on a fixed schedule. You always know what is in work and what is next.

Before release

A separate QA pass on every release — the developer who wrote the code is not the person who signs it off.

After handover

Documentation for everything we ship, plus a warranty on the modifications and the project.

Tell us what the store needs to do

Describe the task in a couple of sentences and we will come back with options, a scope and a price. The consultation is free, and we will say plainly if a ready-made add-on already solves it.
