The Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI-SSC) sets standards to protect credit card data. Namely, entities that transmit, process or store credit card information are expected to abide by the standards of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards. To accept credit card payments through your website, you’ll need to ensure your customer payment information is safe and that you’re following the PCI requirements. And to simplify this process, third-party products like PayPal Checkout, Square Online Checkout and Stripe Checkout can be added to your website to process payments on your behalf (and keep credit card data off your hosting server). Make sure you’re aware of any additional requirements to keep your business PCI compliant.
If you prefer to process payments directly on your server, we offer PCI-certified products like WordPress Ecommerce Hosting and the GoDaddy Online Store.
