What this choice changes

A certification label is only one input. Review the data flow, access model, subprocessors, incident responsibilities, retention, customer communications, issuer oversight, program terms, and the boundaries of every report or attestation.

Questions for the Shopify program team

Resolve these questions against the actual offer, customer journey, and operating model before comparing providers.

  • What Shopify and recipient data enters each system?
  • Which entities store, transmit, or decide with that data?
  • What evidence covers the services in scope?
  • How are incidents, access changes, and vendor risks handled?
03

Evidence to collect

Ask for evidence that can be reviewed by commercial, operations, support, security, and legal stakeholders.

  • Scoped independent assurance evidence
  • Incident and vulnerability processes
