localStorageand encrypted cloud data stores. - Customer Checkout Data: Customer names, delivery addresses, and cart totals are formatted into direct WhatsApp message payloads. We do not store credit card passwords or bank numbers on our servers.

Orders are transmitted directly to WhatsApp via standard Meta WhatsApp API protocols. No transaction data is shared with third-party advertising brokers.

Merchants retain full data ownership. You can export a complete .json backup of your store catalog, orders, and coupons anytime from the Merchant Studio.
