Frequently Asked Questions
What's the easiest path to PCI compliance for e-commerce?
Use hosted payment pages or iframes from PCI-compliant processors. This typically qualifies for SAQ A (fewest requirements). Never let card data touch your servers if avoidable.
What about storing cards for repeat purchases?
Never store full card numbers yourself. Use tokenization from your payment processor. Tokens can be stored safely and used for repeat charges without PCI scope expansion.
How do we handle phone orders?
Phone orders (card-not-present) add PCI scope. Options include DTMF masking for call centers, or directing customers to web payment. Train staff to never write down full card numbers.
