Security checklist for crypto payment gateways

Security is a process, not a brand claim. Use this checklist as a preflight review.

Referral disclosure: marked outbound CTA may use a sponsored referral URL. This does not make the site official.

Account safety

Use unique passwords, two-factor authentication, role-based permissions where available, and regular access reviews for staff accounts.

Customer safety

Warn customers that support will never need seed phrases, private keys, wallet passwords, or recovery words. Always verify downloads through official sources.

Engineering safety

Keep API keys out of frontend code, restrict secrets, monitor webhook failures, and alert on unexpected payout or settlement changes.
