Whether you are a high, medium or low risk merchant, it’s not always possible for your website to meet the standards of PCI compliancy, where you can self-host your own payment page.
Being PCI compliant is adhering to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). This means that you are following the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council’s data security requirements, that are put in place, to mitigate fraud and protect cardholder data .
If you are not PCI compliant, there is a good possibility that you may not be able to receive payments on your website as the Council may deem your site as non-secure and non-protective of your customers sensitive credit card information.
If you can not build, monitor and maintain a secure network that protects cardholder data, you must use a Payment Service Provider that offers a PCI compliant and third-party hosted payment page. These services will fulfill all PCI compliance requirements – meaning you can sell your goods and services online without all the work and detail required in becoming an official certified PCI compliant merchant.
In conclusion, using a hosted payment page, will make it much easier for you to meet the PCI compliance requirements without you having to invest in all of the security features that it entails. We at U Swipe can help you for all your payment needs to include PCI gateway services for international processing payment.
