Payment methods & security (PCI / FastSpring)

Your card never touches our servers. Here's who processes payments and what we do (and don't) store.

1 min read Updated July 14, 2026

We take payment security seriously by not handling your card at all. FastSpring is our merchant of record and processes every transaction.

What we store — and don’t

  • We never see or store card numbers. Card data is entered on FastSpring’s PCI-compliant checkout, not on socialmate.app. This keeps our systems out of PCI scope (SAQ-A).
  • We store references, not secrets — a transaction/subscription ID and your plan status, so we can show your billing history and keep your license in sync.
  • Your WhatsApp data is entirely separate and never leaves your machine — see Privacy: data export & deletion.

Accepted methods

FastSpring supports major credit/debit cards and common alternative methods. The exact options shown depend on your country and are presented at checkout.

Trust, stated plainly. Merchant of record means FastSpring also handles tax/VAT and is the name on your statement. If you need a different invoice, see Invoices, receipts & VAT.
