Privacy and retention

Cart tokens are opaque cookies. Expired holds are deleted automatically, abandoned carts are marked by scheduled cleanup, and converted cart/order rows are retained as audit history until a site administrator removes them under the site retention policy.

Known limitations

Seated events are excluded from v1 cart checkout. EventPrime fixed-field, attendee-field, coupon, offer, and native booking contracts must be confirmed for the target EventPrime version before production launch.

Troubleshooting

If bookings do not appear, confirm EventPrime is active and review the integration adapter for the installed EventPrime version. If availability appears stale, confirm the WordPress cron event web321_epcart_cleanup is running.

FAQ

Does this require WooCommerce? No. The add-on uses EventPrime data and its booking surface.
