AOC for PCI-DSS Compliance

One of the payment gateways is requesting an AOC for PCI-DSS compliance for my web hosting business. I tried searching on Google but didn't understand much about it or how to obtain it. Can someone please explain what it is and how I can get it?

    You don't need PCI-DSS unless you are going to collect clients' cc data yourself

    That's the thing! I'm using Stripe for credit cards, but I don't understand why the payment gateway itself is asking for it.

    I have seen most merchants using Stripe collecting clients' cards for some reason, however few use Stripe's page for this purpose. The latter one do not need to have PCI-DSS.

    Reach the support on this matter.

    What customer data are you collecting?

  • @jbiloh said: What customer data are you collecting?

    The basic user registration data, such as name, email, phone number, etc.

    So stripe is asking you to undergo pci-dss? You don't tell whole story here.

    No, it's not Stripe; it's Razorpay that is requesting this information. I do have Stripe, and it's working perfectly fine without requiring it.

    Are you from India? Just be with stripe then. Why do you need them? Any specific method of payment, non-standard credit cards? Is it standard razor pay whmcs plugin?

    No, but my targeted audiences are from there, and I want to accept local payments from India and China too. That's why I signed up with them. Additionally, they offer a WHMCS module. They are one of the leading payment providers in those regions.

    Probably thats why you need to undergo their pci-dss. Probably not that strict as visa/mastercard
