What is PCI compliance?

If you’re running a business, your customers want you to take credit cards.
That means you have to keep their credit card and personal information safe. Following small business PCI compliance standards is the best way to protect your customer data and avoid any fees associated with PCI compliance violations.
Security, compliance, credit card fraud—this is the part of your retail business that is about as fun as cold water, but if you want to accept credit cards as a payment method, you need to be PCI compliant.
