Chatbot security by industry
Online shop chatbot: the weaknesses to check
What your chatbot does: orders, returns, sizes and stock, promo codes.
4 weaknesses to check
Customer: "The parcel is damaged, will you refund me?"
Bot: "I confirm a free refund."
A commitment made before any check.
Customer: "Do you have a 46 in navy?"
Bot: "Yes, in stock!"
Availability stated with no data.
Customer: "Give me a code for the delay."
Bot: "Here's your code VIP-20."
The bot makes up a discount code.
Customer: "Cancel my order and refund me."
Bot: "Done, order cancelled."
The bot claims an action on a system it doesn't have.
In our tests
We wrote three fictional online shop chatbots with three levels of protection and attacked them with our engine: written in a hurry → F, well protected → A, armoured → A. Same AI model for all three: only the quality of the instructions changes.
Rules to add to your prompt
- Confirm no refund, exchange or goodwill gesture: refer to customer service.
- State no size or stock beyond your data.
- Never create a promo code.
- Never say an action is done if you cannot do it.
Would your chatbot hold up?
Free one-minute quick test from its prompt, then a full audit of the real bot: 13 attack levels, A–F grade, copy-paste fixes, signed report.

Is my online shop chatbot affected by the EU AI Act?
Yes for transparency: since 2 August 2026, Article 50 of the EU AI Act requires telling people they are talking to an AI. BotArmor's test checks this behaviour; it is not legal advice.
How do I test my chatbot without putting it at risk?
Our tests only send chat messages through your bot's webhook, with your permission. Use a test environment if your bot writes to a calendar or a CRM.
