Functional Requirements: Secure Checkout & User Sync
1. Unified Identity Management
To ensure users have a seamless experience across the Mobile App and the WooCommerce Web store.
JWT Authentication: Implement JSON Web Tokens (JWT) for stateless, secure communication between the App and the WooCommerce REST API/WPGraphQL.
Biometric Sync: Map device-level FaceID/TouchID to the user’s encrypted WooCommerce credentials for secure, one-touch re-authentication.
Real-time Profile Sync: Any changes to shipping addresses, phone numbers, or account details in the App must reflect in the WooCommerce wp_users and wp_usermeta tables instantly.
Social Sign-On (SSO) Mapping: Ensure Google/Apple/Facebook logins are correctly mapped to existing WooCommerce user IDs to prevent duplicate accounts.
2. High-Security Checkout Flow
Minimizing the risk of data breaches and ensuring a high conversion rate.
Native SDK Payment Processing: Instead of using WebViews, integrate Stripe/PayPal Native SDKs directly into the App to handle sensitive credit card data.
Tokenization: Sensitive payment info must be Tokenized (never stored on the App or WooCommerce server) and passed to the payment gateway via secure HTTPS/TLS 1.3.
One-Click Checkout: Securely store payment tokens (not card numbers) via the payment provider to allow returning users to check out with a single tap.
Address Validation: Integrate Google Places API or Loqate to ensure shipping addresses are accurate before the order is sent to WooCommerce.
3. Order & Transaction Integrity
Idempotency Keys: Use Idempotency Keys in API requests to prevent duplicate orders or double-charging if a user taps "Pay" multiple times due to poor network.
Order Status Webhooks: Implement robust Webhooks so that when a payment is confirmed by the gateway, the WooCommerce order status updates to "Processing" and triggers a Push Notification to the user.
Inventory Locking: Implement a "Temporary Lock" on items during the checkout session to prevent Overselling during high-concurrency events.
4. Compliance & Protection
PCI-DSS Compliance: Ensure the entire checkout architecture adheres to PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard).
Fraud Detection: Integrate tools like Sift or Stripe Radar to analyze user behavior and block suspicious transactions in real-time.
Data Encryption: All User PII (Personally Identifiable Information) must be encrypted at rest using AES-256.
