Success Quote
“There are four things that do not come back to you, you’re spoken word, the spent arrow, your past life, and a neglected opportunity.”
What you need to know:
- As of October 31, 2016, PCI DSS 3.1 was retired. What does that mean? As of October of last year, you should have upgraded you PCI compliance to version 3.2.
- From right now, until January 31st, 2018, this new requirement is considered “best practice”
- After January 31st, 2018 it will be affected and mandated as a requirement.
- Previously (in CPI Compliance version 3.1) merchants and banks were responsible for chargebacks.
- The new version (CPI Compliance version 3.2) is shifting chargeback liability to the processing and the software companies and increase the fine significant.
Ok, so what? Why should you care?
- If you’re using a legacy POS, that system is now going to require you as a merchant, to submit to your processor 3 different certifications.
- Software developer Certification. (good for 3 years). Expense: $50-100 per terminal.
- Distributor Certification. (good for 3 years). Expense: $25-75 per terminal.
- On-site inspection issued by a Master-Leve PCI Compliant IT Tech. (good for 1 year) Expense: $150-225 per terminal.
- IF YOU DO NOT SUBMIT THESE CERTIFICATIONS TO YOUR PROCESSOR YOUR SERVICE WILL BE TERMINATED. You have until January 31st, 20018
There are exceptions to the rule: You are exempt from these certificates if you’re using:
- A cloud-based tablet and mobile system (See Below); or
- a standalone credit card processor
