Guide
Ecommerce applications mix payment data, customer accounts, promotional logic, inventory, refunds, and administrative tooling. PCI DSS work is strongest when it tests those real workflows rather than only infrastructure endpoints.
APVISO maps checkout and account surfaces, probes injection and XSS, tests authorization around orders and refunds, and looks for business logic flaws such as coupon abuse or step skipping. Findings are written for developers with reproduction steps and remediation guidance.
The best pattern is to run APVISO continuously around release cycles. That gives ecommerce teams a practical evidence trail for PCI conversations and reduces the time vulnerable checkout code spends in production.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can APVISO test coupon and checkout logic?▾
Yes. APVISO can test business logic around checkout, coupon application, account actions, and order workflows when those flows are in scope.
Should ecommerce teams scan after every release?▾
High-change stores should scan after meaningful checkout, payment, account, or admin changes, and schedule recurring scans for baseline coverage.
