Secure API Access Control

Virto Commerce equips your ecommerce solution with advanced tools to protect integrations and ensure only authorized systems and developers access your APIs.

From managing access keys to enforcing IP restrictions, Virto delivers a secure, scalable foundation for API-based commerce.

What this feature delivers for your business:

Granular API key management: Create, assign, and manage API keys per integration, partner, or developer to ensure tight control over system access.
Token-based authentication: Use secure token exchange mechanisms (e.g., JWTs) for short-lived, verifiable access. This is ideal for modern, stateless communication between services.
IP whitelisting: Limit API access to specific IP addresses or address ranges, adding an extra layer of defense against unauthorized requests.
Audit & traceability: Monitor and log every access point, helping detect anomalies, track usage patterns, and support compliance audits.

Example use cases:

Internal developer teams: Issue tokens for frontend and backend services while keeping infrastructure decoupled and secure.
Partner portals: Allow external vendors or distributors to access product, inventory, or order data with token-based access limited to specific resources.
Third-party logistics provider integration: Grant secure, limited access to shipping data for a 3PL partner using scoped API keys.
Automated workflows: Enable secure communication between Virto Commerce and middleware platforms like Azure Logic Apps, while restricting access by IP and key scope.
