Shopify app penetration testing for your partner review
Independent manual pentesting of your Shopify app and APIs, following OWASP and NIST methodologies, with validated findings and remediation guidance for your partner security review.
Pentest the app behind your Shopify integration
We scope your application, APIs, merchant data flows, and supporting services around Shopify’s Certified Technology Partner security requirements.
Protect the systems handling Shopify merchant data
Map your app, backend APIs, webhooks, storage, and cloud services. Agree coverage around the components you control and the data they handle.
Find exploitable flaws in your Shopify app
Manually pentest OAuth flows, merchant isolation, authorization, session handling, webhooks, and business logic. AI assists where needed; researchers validate every reported finding.
Fix findings before your partner review
Receive clear evidence and practical remediation guidance. Track findings in the Blaze Portal and validate agreed fixes when included in your engagement.
How your pentest supports Shopify’s partner requirements
Blaze delivers independent application pentesting and technical evidence. Shopify’s approved vendor handles the separate program validation review; Shopify decides acceptance.

Manual pentesting, with AI support where needed.
Assess your application and integration risks with OWASP and NIST methodologies, clear reporting, and remediation support for your partner security review.
Application-first scope
Pentest your app, backend APIs, and integrations around the Shopify data flows and trust boundaries you control.
Merchant isolation & authorization
Investigate cross-merchant access, OAuth handling, roles, API scopes, webhook authentication, and business-logic abuse.
Secrets & supporting infrastructure
Assess token storage, secret exposure, encryption, IAM, and environment separation where included in your agreed scope.
Independent pentest reporting
Receive scope, methodology, validated findings, severity, evidence, and actionable remediation guidance for your annual application assessment.
Remediation priorities
Understand what to fix first and track ownership and progress in the Blaze Portal before your partner review.
Agreed fix validation
Retest agreed findings when included in your engagement and document whether the reported attack paths remain exploitable.
Reuse relevant evidence across assurance work
Reuse pentest findings across other audits where scope and requirements overlap.
ISO 27001
Use relevant application, cloud, IAM, vulnerability-management, and remediation evidence to support ISMS risk treatment where scope overlaps.
SOC 2
Use validated application, API, cloud, and access-control findings to support security criteria and customer assurance where scope overlaps.
Shopify partner pentesting questions
Scope, annual testing, reporting, and how an independent pentest fits the Certified Technology Partner review.
Yes. Shopify’s Certified Technology Partner requirements specify an annual independent third-party application penetration test following OWASP and NIST methodologies. This program requirement is distinct from general Shopify App Store listing and Built for Shopify requirements.
Coverage follows your architecture and data flows. It can include embedded app interfaces, backend APIs, OAuth and sessions, merchant isolation, webhooks, protected customer data, and supporting infrastructure. We agree scope and authorization before testing.
No. Blaze provides independent pentesting and technical evidence. Shopify’s approved security assessment vendor conducts the separate validation review and issues the program’s Letter of Validation. Shopify decides whether an applicant joins or remains in the program.
The pentest is manual, with AI-assisted analysis where needed. Researchers investigate authorization, tenant boundaries, and business logic, and validate every reported finding. Automated scanning can support coverage but does not replace the assessment.
We assess your authorized application, integration, and supporting systems. Shopify’s platform infrastructure and unrelated merchants are outside the engagement scope. Testing uses agreed accounts, environments, and safeguards.
No. Pentesting supports the annual application assessment and technical evidence. Policies, incident response, retention, backup restoration, support, and other program obligations require separate work. Blaze’s report does not replace the broader validation review or guarantee certification.
Your report includes agreed scope, methodology, validated findings, severity, evidence, and remediation guidance. Your proposal specifies whether fix validation is included and its timeframe. Retesting documents the status of agreed findings after remediation.
