Partner Program - Technology Track (formerly PCAP) 

Technology Partner Security Assessment

Welcome!

In 2019, Shopify rolled out the Shopify Partner Program - Technology Track, with the objective of exclusively selecting and curating a group of partners to build valuable solutions for Shopify’s larger merchants.

How it Works

The following activities are included in the Shopify Partner Program Technology Track security assessment. :

  • Pass all security requirements to be accepted into the program as part of a new application or an annual renewal.

  • Complete the security review which concludes with a pass or fail outcome.

  • In the event of a security review failure, we will work directly with you to rectify any issues.

Assessment Process

On-boarding

  1. Begin by filling out the program application questionnaire with Shopify.

  2. Follow the link, given by Shopify during on-boarding, back to Leviathan to complete the security assessment.

  3. Upon landing on this web page, you will have the ability to review and sign Leviathan’s Statement of Work.

  4. After executing the Statement of Work, you will be able to pay the service fee via Stripe.

Security Assessment

  1. Once you have completed your payment via Stripe, you will be directed to a form for submitting your assessment response.

  2. Upon completion of the security questionnaire, the form is submitted directly to Leviathan and Shopify.

  3. Provided that the Statement of Work is signed, and the Stripe payment is completed, Leviathan will review each application within 48 hours.

    1. If you pass, Leviathan will provide your Letter of Validation to you within 48 hours which states that you have successfully passed the questionnaire.

    2. If you fail, Leviathan will provide a remediation report to you within 48 hours with a clear outline on:

      1. Failed security requirements.

      2. Steps needed to solve the problem.

Next Steps

  1. You will have up to forty-five (45) days from initial submission to address the missing requirements and resubmit the security application. (Included in fee)

  2. Leviathan will review the application within 48 hours.

  3. Shopify will review the full application and determine whether you will join or remain in the program. You must pass all security requirements and receive a Letter of Validation.

The Company and Applicant agree that all answers and attachments to the Security Questionnaire are the Confidential Information of Shopify and Applicant under the Shopify Partner Program. Confidential Information may be used by the Company as necessary for performing its obligations under the Statement of Work and as signed by the Applicant and to adhere to Shopify Partner Program. Note: The Company adheres to ISO27001 Information Security Standards and can be supplied upon request.
