Strapi and eCommerce Payment Security: Best Practices

Strapi is a headless CMS that provides a secure framework for eCommerce applications to integrate with trusted payment gateways like Stripe and PayPal. It supports API security measures, including HTTPS encryption, data encryption at rest, validating inputs, and regularly updating the platform. Strapi also complies with PCI DSS standards by integrating with PCI-compliant services, reducing the application's compliance scope. To enhance security further, developers can define user roles and permissions using RBAC, encrypt sensitive data during API transactions, and maintain audit logs to monitor CMS actions. By following these best practices, Strapi enables eCommerce businesses to protect customer payment information while maintaining flexibility in their applications.
