If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, then WooCommerce, Square and/or Vend stores your credit card data.

After that is complete, your purchase transaction information is deleted.

PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our store and its service providers.
