It embeds widgets on product and checkout pages and connects to your store backend to manage repeat orders. Yotpo operates from the United States with research and development in Israel.

Yotpo processes the customer details, subscription preferences and order history needed to run recurring billing. The marketing and analytics cookies are non essential.
