FAQ
No. Buyer payments for merchant products are not processed by Catalo.id. Merchants provide their own payment instructions to buyers.
Merchants manage catalog, orders, and payment instructions for their buyers. This is part of store operations, not platform billing.
Catalo.id bills merchants for software subscription only. Platform billing is separate from buyer transactions.
