External services
This plugin communicates with STRABL-operated services to provide the hosted checkout, payment authorisation and merchant configuration workflows. Both sandbox (https://sandbox.api.strabl.com) and production (https://api.strabl.com) environments are available; the same data handling practices apply to each.
STRABL API – `https://api.strabl.com`
- Purpose: retrieves merchant configuration, initiates checkout sessions, stores STRABL customer references and processes webhook updates required to complete orders.
- Data sent: store identifier, order totals, customer contact details and STRABL customer references are transmitted when a checkout is initiated or webhooks are processed.
- Terms of Service: https://strabl.io/terms
- Privacy Policy: https://strabl.io/privacy
STRABL Checkout – `https://checkout.strabl.io`
- Purpose: presents the hosted checkout dialog, collects payment details and performs device-level biometric authentication when enabled.
- Data sent: the hosted dialog receives checkout tokens generated by the STRABL API along with customer contact details needed to finalise the order.
- Terms of Service: https://strabl.io/terms
- Privacy Policy: https://strabl.io/privacy
STRABL CDN – `https://cdn.strabl.com`
- Purpose: delivers static assets (JavaScript, CSS, fonts and images) used by the checkout dialog and Express Checkout button.
- Data sent: only standard HTTP request metadata (such as IP address and user agent) required to serve static assets is transmitted; no customer payment data is sent to the CDN.
- Terms of Service: https://strabl.io/terms
