External services
This plugin uses external JavaScript and APIs provided by ZainPay to initialize and process payments.
When a customer selects ZainPay at checkout, the plugin loads ZainPay’s inline JavaScript files from their servers and sends payment-related information to ZainPay. This typically includes:
- Order reference and amount
- Currency
- Store ZainBox identifier
- Customer contact details (such as name, email address, and phone number)
Payment card details are handled directly by ZainPay on their secure infrastructure. This plugin does not store or process card numbers, CVV codes, or other sensitive card data on your site.
