Where ecommerce security usually breaks
Most serious ecommerce issues are not missing patches. They are logic flaws: changing a price or quantity in a request, reusing or stacking coupons, viewing another customer's orders by changing an ID, or skipping a payment step entirely. Scanners rarely find these, so we test them manually.
We also look at the parts around the store: admin and seller panels, order and inventory APIs, payment gateway callbacks, and third-party plugins. For custom stores and headless builds the APIs are often the weakest point, and for marketplaces the separation between sellers matters as much as the separation between buyers.

Frequently asked questions
Do you test live stores or staging?
Either. Staging is preferred for checkout and payment tests. If production is in scope, we agree testing windows and safe limits first.
Can you test our mobile shopping app too?
Yes. Android and iOS apps and the APIs behind them can be added to the same scope.
How much does it cost?
Pricing depends on scope: number of targets, user roles and depth of manual testing. Book a call and we will send a quote based on your real scope.
Do you work with teams outside India?
Yes. Testing is mostly remote, so we work with teams across India and internationally.
