Shopify’s new checkout system complies with PCI DSS v4, utilizing sandboxing to enhance security and streamline compliance for merchants. Key aspects include isolating untrusted code, maintaining a managed environment for custom scripts, and implementing anti-skimming protections to safeguard sensitive data. The architecture supports performance, security, upgradeability, and compliance without additional merchant effort. PCI DSS v4 introduces stricter requirements, but Shopify handles complexity, allowing merchants to focus on business growth.
