No. Payments go directly from the customer to your Wownero wallet. WOW Checkout only observes the blockchain to detect payments and update invoice status.

), }, { question: "What wallet access does WOW Checkout require?", answer: ( <>

The maximum permission we ask for is view-only access: your primary address and your secret view key. We never request spend keys and we never request signing access.

), }, { question: "What does setup require?", answer: ( <>

Setup is explicit: provide your primary address and secret view key, then create invoices via the dashboard or API. We never request spend keys or signing access.

), }, { question: "Do you require email or personal information?", answer: ( <>

No. We do not require email or personal information. Your primary address is the identifier for access, paired with your secret view key.

), }, { question: "What does WOW Checkout cost?", answer: ( <>

Currently, wowcheckout.com does not charge a service fee. You can also self-host the open source stack if you prefer.

) : null} ), }, { question: "Can WOW Checkout move funds, issue refunds, or reverse payments?", answer: ( <>

No. WOW Checkout does not sign transactions and cannot move funds on your behalf. It is checkout software: create invoices, detect payments, and relay status via API/webhooks.

), }, { question: "What happens if WOW Checkout is down when a customer pays?", answer: ( <>

Your wallet can still receive a valid on-chain payment because the payment is customer → merchant wallet. If the service is unavailable, you may temporarily lose invoice status updates until it comes back online.

), }, { question: "How does WOW Checkout differ from hosted services (e.g. NOWPayments)?", answer: ( <>

The main differences are scope, custody model, and data collection: WOW Checkout is Wownero-only, does not require an account or email, and uses view-only access for payment detection.

If you use a third-party service, review what keys and data it requires, and whether it ever takes custody or intermediates funds.

), }, { question: "How does WOW Checkout differ from BTCPay Server?", answer: ( <>

BTCPay Server is a general-purpose, self-hosted payment server with a primary focus on Bitcoin and optional integrations for other assets (including Wownero via a plugin). WOW Checkout is intentionally focused on Wownero checkout with a view-only trust boundary and a minimal, deterministic core.

Some hosted BTCPay deployments may not include the Wownero plugin by default. WOW Checkout provides a small compatibility layer so teams can integrate without running a full BTCPay deployment.

), }, { question: "Can I self-host WOW Checkout?", answer: ( <>

Yes. WOW Checkout is open source, and you can self-host it from the official{" "} GitHub repository .
