It depends. If you have a service that is likely to be targeted by specialized bots because you provide something valuable that they can abuse (like storage, e-mail sending capability etc.), and you don't care that much about your users, reCaptcha is currently one of these solutions that mostly work.
For everything else, you can easily use your own solution and it's likely to work like a charm. You can even include it in JS on the client as it doesn't matter if it's obvious for a human. Some simple oneliners will do, even if you work with a stock solution like Prestashop or Wordpress.
In my experience, e-commerce spam is mostly fake customer-service requests and sometimes orders made by some typical bots with links to Russian and Chinese websites. It's enough to do one simple check an they're gone as the people who run these bots don't care about your website in particular, they just want to spam the whole internet and they won't bother modifying the code just for one website. They won't even know the bots were stopped by your oneliner.
