No. Payments go directly from the customer to your Wownero wallet. WOW
Checkout only observes the blockchain to detect payments and update
invoice status.
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.
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.
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.
Wownero-only: a focused
product without a multi-asset stack.
No account/email: your primary address is the identifier.
No custody: payments
go directly to your wallet.
View-only by design:{" "}
we never ask for spend keys.
Clear failure modes:{" "}
downtime can delay status updates, but it does not affect on-chain
validity of payments.
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.
Wownero-first UX:{" "}
invoice and confirmation language is tailored to Wownero.
Fewer moving parts:{" "}
a narrow scope keeps operations and audits simpler.
API/webhooks-first:{" "}
designed to fit into existing order systems.
WOW Checkout is non-custodial checkout software for accepting Wownero
payments. We focus on a conservative trust boundary: view-only
detection and merchant-owned funds.
