Shopify App Users:

  • Accessing Orders: When you install our app, it will automatically access some information from your Shopify store to work its functionality. This includes things like order details (order ID, customer info, products, etc.). We use this information to power the app’s features, like syncing your past orders. We won’t ask you for anything you don’t already give to Shopify.

  • Accessing Customer Information: We gather customer details when you interact with stores using our services, including names, emails, and payment details. This helps us process orders and provide personalized communications.

  • Contact Information: In some cases, our Shopify apps might collect contact information if necessary for the app’s functionality. We’ll specify what information is collected within the app itself.

  • Third-Party Tracking: We use third-party tools like Google Analytics, Mixpanel, Google Search Console, Facebook Pixel, Quora Pixel, Linkedin Pixel, and Reddit Pixel on our website & Shopify apps.
