+
+## How Store Coverage Works
+
+CartSnitch connects to stores through their loyalty program APIs. When you connect your store account, we read your purchase history and current pricing data — without ever seeing your login credentials.
+
+**What you get when your store is supported:**
+- Personalized price alerts on products you buy
+- Accurate basket cost comparison across your stores
+- Shrinkflation detection on your actual purchases
+
+**What this requires:**
+- An active loyalty account with the store
+- Willingness to connect the account (you can disconnect at any time)
+
+---
+
+## Privacy Note
+
+We never store your store login credentials. Our integration uses read-only access to your loyalty account data. We store only the minimum data needed to calculate unit prices and compare baskets.
+

+

+
+## Don't See Your Store?
+
+We're building CartSnitch's store coverage as fast as we can. The grocery market is fragmented and each integration requires technical work.
+
+**How to request a store:**
+1. Sign up for beta
+2. Go to Settings > Request a Store
+3. Submit your store name and location
+
+We review requests weekly and prioritize stores with the highest demand and broadest geographic coverage.
