Online stores are targets for DDoS attacks, credential stuffing, payment fraud, and supply chain script injections. Cloudflare provides layered security — from SSL/TLS encryption and application security managed rulesets to bot detection and client-side script monitoring — that protects your store without adding friction for shoppers.

Encrypt all traffic with free, automatic SSL certificates. [Learn more about SSL/TLS](https://developers.cloudflare.com/ssl/).

-   **PCI DSS compliance support** - Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption and application security managed rulesets help meet Payment Card Industry (PCI) payment security requirements

Get automatic protection from vulnerabilities and create your own custom rules. [Learn more about application security](https://developers.cloudflare.com/waf/).

Automatic mitigation of volumetric and application-layer DDoS attacks. [Learn more about DDoS protection](https://developers.cloudflare.com/ddos-protection/).

-   **HTTP DDoS protection** - Automatic, always-on mitigation of HTTP flood attacks, cache-busting attacks, and application-layer Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks at layer 7. No configuration required — active on all Cloudflare domains by default

Machine learning powered bot detection with granular control over bot traffic. [Learn more about Bot security](https://developers.cloudflare.com/bots/).

-   **Credential stuffing protection** - ML-powered bot detection blocks automated login and account takeover attacks

Privacy-preserving CAPTCHA alternative for forms and user interactions. [Learn more about Turnstile](https://developers.cloudflare.com/turnstile/).

-   **Payment form security** - Privacy-preserving CAPTCHA alternative that protects checkout without adding user friction

Monitor and control third-party scripts and outbound connections on your pages. [Learn more about Client-side security](https://developers.cloudflare.com/client-side-security/).

-   **Supply chain protection** - Detects malicious scripts injected by compromised third-party vendors (Magecart-style attacks)
