Did You Know? Payment Logging Security Risks
Sensitive payment information can unintentionally end up in logs when developers log request/response payloads for debugging.
💡 Did You Know?
While implementing payment gateways in SFCC, it's common to focus on successful authorization, capture, and error handling workflows. However, one critical area often gets overlooked: application logging.
Sensitive payment information can unintentionally end up in logs when developers log request/response payloads for debugging purposes. Card numbers, CVV values, tokens, personal customer data, or API credentials stored in plain text logs can become a significant security and compliance risk.
A few good practices: ✅ Never log full payment request or response payloads in production ✅ Mask sensitive fields before logging ✅ Review custom cartridge logging regularly ✅ Follow PCI DSS guidelines for data handling and storage ✅ Disable verbose/debug logging once troubleshooting is complete
Security isn't just about protecting data in transit—it's also about ensuring sensitive information never gets exposed through your logs.
