PCI-DSS

Card industry security standard that defines how card data must be stored, transmitted, and processed.

PCI-DSS, short for Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, is the security standard maintained by the card networks that defines how card data must be collected, transmitted, processed, and stored by any company that handles payments.

A payment platform certified in PCI-DSS follows audited security controls, which reduces the risk of a card data breach for the buyers who go through your checkout.

Documentation exists so a seller never learns a rule on the day it costs them. Worth reading before you need it.
