I no longer accept credit cards on my website. I direct my customers to Quickbooks for them to pay me. Do I still need to purchase a PCI compliance package?

Welcome to the Community, john. I'll share details about complying with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).

Consumers with active payment accounts who accept credit and debit cards as a form of payment are required to comply with QuickBooks Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) compliance. This is a global card brand requirement to protect customers and their businesses from cardholder data breaches. 

Any business or service provider that stores, processes, or transmits payment card data must adhere to the data standard, regardless of their size or the amount of annual payment card transactions.

I have very few customers who pay by credit card, but that's the nature of my business. Most remit by checks. I only invoice about six times a month. A few send Zelle or CashApp payments, and a rare few get Square invoices, and I do not keep their cards on file. I had signed up for Quickbooks payments, but the sales rep said nothing to me about the $150 annual fee for compliance (which I think was rather sneaky), so I dropped QB payments. It was totally not worth it, as I only used it once in three months. 

If you take credit cards through QB, you need to use the compliance subscription.
