Overview

eCommerce websites are prime targets for malicious bots and hackers attempting to steal customer payment credentials and personal data. Securing your store is both an operational necessity and a legal compliance requirement.

Security Best Practices

• Active SSL/TLS Encryption: Ensure a valid Secure Sockets Layer certificate is installed across all pages not just the checkout to encrypt data transmitted between your customers and your server.
• PCI-DSS Compliance: Never store raw credit card numbers in your local database. Use certified payment gateways like Stripe, PayPal, or Shopify Payments to handle sensitive transaction data securely.
• Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Enforce strict 2FA requirements for all administrative and staff accounts to block brute-force login attacks.
