Order Privacy for Self-fulfilling Vendors
Draft
This page is a stub. It captures the intended structure of the BoxNCase Platform documentation; the details are being written as the platform ships. Questions: [email protected].
Principle
A vendor that fulfils its own orders owns the customer relationship. Order details live in the vendor's isolated stack; BoxNCase sees only what is needed to operate the marketplace and settle payments.
Data boundaries
| Data | Vendor stack | BoxNCase platform |
|---|---|---|
| Customer identity and addresses | Yes | No (marketplace orders: only the shipping address needed for the vendor) |
| Order lines and pricing | Yes | Aggregate totals for settlement |
| Payment instrument | Stripe (vendor's connected account) | Never stored |
| Fulfilment and tracking | Yes | Tracking number mirrored to the marketplace order |
Outline (to be written)
- Permission groups recommended for vendor staff
- Metadata keys the platform writes on orders (and which are private)
- Data export and deletion requests
