WooCommerce Security

Complete protection for your WooCommerce webshop. Secure payments, customer data and inventory against hackers and malware.

A WooCommerce webshop is an attractive target for cybercriminals. You process payment details, customer personal data and business-critical inventory information. A successful attack means not only financial damage, but also reputational damage, GDPR fines and the loss of customer trust. WooCommerce security is therefore not an option, but an absolute necessity for every serious webshop.

WP Maintainer specialises in securing WooCommerce webshops. We know the specific risks of e-commerce: from credit card skimmers and fraudulent orders to brute force attacks on your login page and vulnerable payment gateway plugins. Our layered security strategy protects your webshop on all fronts, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

WooCommerce runs on top of WordPress and adds a complex e-commerce layer: payment gateways, inventory management, customer accounts, discount codes and dozens of extensions. Every extra plugin is a potential vulnerability. Research shows most WordPress hacks enter through outdated or poorly written plugins — and webshops run more plugins than any other type of site.

Prevention is cheaper than recovery. Cleaning a hacked webshop easily costs €500 to €2,500, excluding lost revenue and reputational damage. Professional WooCommerce security costs a fraction of that. And because security is part of our WooCommerce maintenance, you automatically benefit from updates, backups and monitoring in one package. Doubt your webshop's security?

Frequently Asked Questions

6 questions about woocommerce security

How do I know if my WooCommerce webshop is hacked?+
Signs include: unknown orders or users, slow loading times, customer complaints about strange charges, warnings from your payment provider, or a Google warning in search results. In doubt? Request our free security scan.
What is credit card skimming?+
Credit card skimming (also called Magecart) is an attack where malicious code is placed in your checkout to steal customer payment details during checkout. This happens invisibly to you and your customers. Our checkout monitoring detects this code immediately.
Is WooCommerce itself secure?+
WooCommerce core is well secured, but your webshop's security depends on the complete ecosystem: plugins, theme, hosting and configuration. Most hacks happen through outdated extensions or weak passwords. Professional management prevents this.
What does WooCommerce security cost?+
Security is fully included in our maintenance plans from €49 per month. This includes firewall, daily scans, updates, backups and 24/7 monitoring. There are no extra security costs.
My webshop is already hacked. Can you help?+
Yes, we offer emergency recovery for hacked webshops. We remove all malware and backdoors, restore security and perform a complete infection analysis. In most cases your webshop is safely back online within 24 hours.
Which payment gateways are secure?+
Always use recognised, PCI-DSS compliant payment gateways such as Mollie, Adyen, Stripe or Pay.nl. These process payment data on their own secured servers, so sensitive data never touches your server. We check and advise on your payment configuration.
