it depends what kind of threat from a botnet do you percieve as the biggest? you don't have to worry about bitcoin miners malware,these were popular way back,two-three years ago they are simply unprofitable now,with the network difficulty too high,an infected pc would earn a fraction of a cent per day for the attacker-there are better ways to exploit botnets such as DDOS and bruteforcing in your case DDOS and the ensuing extortion attempt could be a threat,if your business needs to be online 24/7 and without interruptions botnets can take your site down for a short period of time,but attacks cost money too,so if they botnet owner gets nothing in return or is met with an adequate DDOS prevention by your hoster or a third party company,he would not spend time and resources bruteforcing wallets is another threat to consider,but you should never store any substantial amounts of coins online there are so called hot wallets and cold wallets-cold wallets are offline storages,hot wallets are usually online wallets for day to day operations always keep your coins in a cold wallet storage all in all if you just a small e-commerce project,you should worry more about how to make your business profitable rather than about any threats from botnets and hackers
