Built for: farm shops, bakeries, butchers, delis, greengrocers, fishmongers, florists, coffee roasters, pizza shops, meal-prep kitchens, and any business where customers order ahead and collect.

<h3>External Services</h3>
This plugin uses the Freemius plugin framework (https://freemius.com/) for optional anonymous usage tracking, licence handling for the paid Pro upgrade, and update delivery for Pro customers. Freemius is a well-known WordPress plugin distribution platform and the integration is entirely standard.
What data is sent, and when:
<ul>
<li>When you activate BoxCart, you are shown an opt-in prompt asking whether to share anonymous usage diagnostics. You can skip the prompt – the plugin works either way.</li>
<li>If you opt in, Freemius receives: your site URL, admin email, WordPress version, PHP version, plugin version, activation/deactivation events, and non-personal environment data (e.g. active theme, locale). You can opt out at any time from BoxCart → Account.</li>
<li>If you purchase the Pro upgrade, Freemius also handles your licence key, renewal state, and update delivery for the Pro build.</li>
<li>BoxCart never sends your customers’ data, your orders, your products, or the contents of your store to Freemius or anywhere else.</li>
</ul>
