Orders, returns, restocks and the support queue
A store’s systems record how merchandise gets chosen, priced, stocked, sold, returned and written off. That operating history is on the buyers’ lists, and it has nothing to do with who your customers are.
Why labs want it
Product pages are public. The work behind them isn’t: how a six-person brand plans a season, negotiates with a supplier, handles a returns spike, or decides what to discontinue.
Mercor lists retail and e-commerce among its target industries with order records, inventory logs and listings as examples. Handshake AI lists product catalogs, inventory workflows and merchandising plans.
Where this is reported, as of October 2026. None of these companies is a SellMyData customer; they are the public record of what buyers are asking for.

Tool names are the ones we see most in this industry. If yours isn’t listed, it almost certainly still counts: take inventory and we’ll tell you.
What stays out
- Customer identitiesNames, emails, addresses and phone numbers are replaced with consistent placeholders. The order stays; the shopper doesn’t.
- Payment dataCard numbers, tokens and anything else from your payment processor are never in scope.
- Marketing lists and profilesEmail lists, loyalty profiles and behavioral tracking data about individuals stay out. We don’t buy consumer personal data.
- Other people’s contentVendor documents, licensed material and anything marked confidential by someone else are left out during the rights check.
Full detail: what we remove and how rights are checked. We don’t buy consumer personal data, health records tied to people, or payment card data.
How it works
- STEP 01
Value it
Answer a few questions and get an estimated range. Nothing is shared yet.
- STEP 02
Share your exports
We walk you through exporting from each tool you choose, for the date range you choose. We never write to your systems.
- STEP 03
Approve the listing
We strip names, contacts and identifiers. You review the redacted preview and the price before any lab sees it.
- STEP 04
Get paid
When a lab buys a license, you get paid. We aim to pay within 7 days of the sale closing.
Today this is done by hand, with you. You export, we clean and prepare, you approve. How you stay in control.
Questions from retail and e-commerce
Isn’t order data consumer data?
Orders describe what was bought, when, for how much and what happened next. The customer’s identity is removed before anything is listed, so what remains describes your operation, not your shoppers.
Can we include our support tickets?
Yes, and they are among the most asked-for datasets. Customer names and contact details are replaced with placeholders; the conversation and its resolution stay intact.
We sell on marketplaces too. Does that data count?
Your own records of those orders and listings do, subject to the marketplace’s terms, which the rights check reads with you.
