Secure Credit Card Processing

As more and more commerce turns to the Internet, Secure credit card processing becomes more and more important. Consumers need to know that their sensitive information will be safe before they will risk transmitting their personal data.

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) was created by the credit card industry to initiate a number measures and controls to ensure secure credit card processing. Their goal is to create a safe environment where customers can feel confident in making online purchases.

Failure to achieve PCI compliance can mean stiff penalties like fines and the loss of the ability to accept credit cards at all. But at Braintree Payment Solutions we can help.

Secure Credit Card Processing Options

If you choose to store and process credit card information on your own site, you are the one responsible for PCI compliance, and you are the one that will have to answer for any security breaches.

The other option is to outsource your payment processing to a company that is already compliant and can offer industry leading technology to secure your important data. At Braintree we address two crucial components of the PCI DSS by using:

• Transparent Redirect: Your customers never have to know we’re involved. They can conveniently make their purchase on your site, and you never have to actually handle the sensitive information.

• Remote Storage and Tokenization: All the sensitive information will be stored remotely behind our SecureVault™ technology. When a customer record is submitted, the merchant receives a unique ID that can be used for future transactions. This process is called tokenization and makes the data on your system useless to criminals. PCI Compliance The PCI DSS requires that any company that stores, processes, or transmits sensitive credit card data be PCI compliant. There are 12 separate requirements and more than 200 individual security controls. Secure credit card processing is part of being PCI compliant, and at Braintree we can help you reach compliance in a cost effective and timely manner.
