How Proteside protects the moment of payment

Four layers working together in the background, between your page and the click on “Pay”, for any payment method.

In one sentence

Proteside is a cybersecurity layer that checks, in the payer’s browser, that the payment details on screen are exactly what the seller issued, and blocks any swap before confirmation, producing auditable evidence of every attempt.

The protection framework

  • 1 · Record what’s legitimate

    Proteside learns what’s legitimate on each payment page: the details of every charge (QR code, payment key, payment code, wallet address, amount), the form fields, the authorized scripts and the allowed destinations for data.

  • 2 · On-screen check

    While the buyer is on the page, checks run continuously in their browser: what’s displayed, what’s copied, who reads the fields and where the data goes.

  • 3 · Block before confirmation

    When it detects a mismatch (a swapped QR code, an overlaid form, a tampered payment code, data sent to an unknown destination), Proteside stops the action before the payment is confirmed.

  • 4 · Alert and evidence

    Every attempt becomes an alert for your team and an auditable record. The script inventory and change history form your evidence for PCI DSS requirements 6.4.3 and 11.6.1.

The technical details of detection and blocking are Proteside’s proprietary technology and are shown in a demo, using your real scenario.

Where it works

  • Online store checkouts

    On any e-commerce platform or custom checkout.

  • Hosted checkouts and payment links

    From PSPs, gateways, payment facilitators and fintechs.

  • Products with embedded payments

    Vertical SaaS, logged-in areas, wallets and web billing.

How it fits into your business

  • 1

    Script on the payment page

    For stores: one line of code pasted into your platform, in minutes.

  • 2

    Template or SDK integration

    For platforms and providers: one integration protects your entire merchant base.

  • 3

    Dashboard, alerts and API

    Managed through the dashboard and API, with alerts by email, Slack, Teams and webhooks.

What Proteside is not

  • Not fraud prevention

    It doesn’t assess whether the buyer can be trusted. It makes sure the page hasn’t been tampered with.

  • Not a gateway

    It doesn’t process or settle payments. It works with the provider you already use.

  • No change to the buyer experience

    Legitimate payments go through as usual; only tampering is stopped.

Comparison: Proteside goes further and protects the payment.

Frequently asked questions

Does Proteside need access to my server?

No. Proteside works on the payment page, in the buyer’s browser, and communicates with the Proteside dashboard. Nothing is installed on your server.

What happens if Proteside becomes unavailable?

Your payment page keeps working normally. Proteside is designed never to block a legitimate sale.

Does it work with any payment method?

Yes. The same protection framework covers cards, Pix, boleto, crypto, wallets and instant payment rails in several countries, because it verifies the integrity of what’s displayed, whatever the payment method.
