What is Shopify security?

Shopify security refers to the technologies, processes, and controls Shopify uses to help protect stores, customer information, payments, and platform infrastructure from unauthorized access and security threats.

Key security features include:

• SSL/TLS encryption – Helps protect data transmitted between browsers and Shopify.
• PCI DSS compliance – Supports secure handling of payment card information.
• Secure hosting infrastructure – Shopify manages much of the underlying platform security and maintenance.
• Account security – Features such as two-step authentication help protect merchant accounts.
• Access controls – Store owners can manage staff permissions and limit access to sensitive areas.
• Fraud and payment protection – Shopify provides tools and controls to help identify and manage potentially fraudulent transactions.
• Security monitoring and updates – Shopify manages platform-level security updates and infrastructure protections.

Merchants are still responsible for securing their accounts, staff access, passwords, devices, apps, and third-party integrations.
