What forms of payment require PCI Compliance Verification? From reading the Guide to Safe Payments it seems compliance is only if we accept face-to-face card payments.

I'm here to answer your question about PCI compliance, @Mgmt-perchedpg.

Once you accept payments using credit and debit cards, you'll be required to follow Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) compliance. This compliance applies to online or face to face card payments.

Thank you for this information.

I recognize the importance of removing PCI Compliance Verification in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT), management. I am here to provide you with the right guidance to complete this process.

When you start using QuickBooks Payments or activate credit/debit card transactions, you must comply with PCI standards. Consequently, you will need to deactivate your QuickBooks Payments and disable the PCI Compliance Verification.

According to the PCI Security Standards Council, the following must be present to be required for PCI compliance:  

PCI DSS requirements apply to:
    *The cardholder data environment (CDE), which is comprised of:
        - System components, people, and process that store, process, or transmit cardholder data and/or sensitive authentication data and, 
         - System components that may not store, process, or transmit CHD/SAD but have unrestricted connectivity to system components that store, process, or transmit CHD/SAD,
     AND
      * System components, people, and processes that could impact the security of cardholder data and/or sensitive authentication data.

     My business does not have components, nor does it store, process or transmit CHD/SAD, nor does it have unrestricted access to a system that does.  What is the process for indicating my business is compliant since I do not fall under any of these scenarios?

Thanks for joining this thread and sharing the detailed instructions about being PCI DSS Compliant, @M Lawmaster. Allow me to add information about this.

If you don't process online payments or store and transmit payment card information, you won't be requested to comply with the PCI security. So, it's not necessary to process something to indicate that your business complied with their payment card security rules.

I only use QB to send out invoices. My form of payments are ONLY done through check payments. Who  do I need to contact to make sure my account is not flagged for PCI Compliance ? 

Please help with how how to properly disable PCI compliance verification for non credit card or ach payments. 

If you only accept checks for payments, then you don't need to worry at all about PCI compliance.  You just pretty much have to ignore any notices about it. 

Hello there, Unique1.

To avoid PCI Compliance flags, contact your merchant services provider or payment processor for compliance verification. And for those who do not use credit or ACH payments, I'll provide additional information below.

PCI Compliance is a requirement set by global card brands to protect businesses and customers from data breaches involving cardholder information. Despite only processing check payments, businesses with an active merchant/QB payments account are still at risk for cardholder data breaches and must remain PCI compliant.

Regarding your PCI compliance verification concern, there are numerous companies available that offer PCI compliance services. We can reach out to any of these providers to make sure our account remains unflagged.

Below are the companies that have partnered with QuickBooks to assist merchants with active QB Payments accounts in achieving PCI compliance.
