Install Protection widget on your Magento-2 store would require 3 simple steps.

Step 1. Get Magento-2 store appKey in your store admin site.

Find a number after website_id, and combine the store URL with the appKey we need.

appKey format: Store URL|[the number after website_id]

Step 2. Insert the script into Magento-2 checkout template

Replace ***appKey*** with the appKey we found in the last step in the code.

<script async type="text/javascript" src="https://widgets.automizely.com/protection/magento2/checkout.min.js?appKey=***appKey***"></script>

Merchant locates the file */vendor/magento/module-checkout/view/frontend/templates/onepage.phtml on the server.

The path of the file could be different depending on the user installation of the store.
The content in the file should be the same as https://github.com/magento/magento2/blob/2.4develop/app/code/Magento/Checkout/view/frontend/templates/onepage.phtml.

Merchant copy & paste the code append into the file.
