Security for self-hosted online stores

Hosted platforms patch their own infrastructure. Self-hosted stores don't get that for free: every plugin, theme and server package is yours to keep current.

Card-skimming code injected into a checkout page can run for months without anyone noticing, because the store keeps working exactly as before.

What usually turns up

These are the gaps most often found when businesses like yours are checked from the outside.

  • Outdated plugins or themes with known vulnerabilities
  • Third-party checkout scripts loaded without integrity checks
  • Cloned storefronts on look-alike domains taking orders
  • Admin login pages exposed with no limit on password attempts
