PCI DSS support for card payment operations.
Guidance and payment-flow options to help understand, reduce and manage PCI DSS scope around card payment acceptance.
Protected payment flow
Sensitive card data stays inside the payment layer.
Your payment flow decides your scope.
How card data moves through checkout determines what your systems touch. Choosing the right flow is the most practical scope decision you make.
Hosted checkout
A hosted card payment flow can help reduce the amount of sensitive card data handled by your systems.
Payment links & flow options
Payment-flow options let you choose how card data moves — and how much of it ever touches your environment.
Own card flow, mapped
Running your own payment experience comes with broader responsibilities — we help map and manage them.
Support around the chosen flow
Guidance and documentation around your setup, so scope management stays part of normal payment operations.
See where sensitive card data lives.
Map responsibilities around the selected payment flow — and keep payment flow, routing and visibility aligned.
Understand where card data touches the operation. The payment layer carries the heaviest handling — your systems keep visibility.
The boundary runs through the flow.
Scope follows the path card data takes — from the checkout surface, through the protected payment layer, into acquiring and operations.
Zone 01
Checkout surface
Hosted checkout and payment links keep entry points light for your systems.
Zone 02 · Protected
Protected payment path
Sensitive card data is handled inside the payment layer — alongside 3DS, risk and routing.
Zone 03
Acquiring & operations
Outcomes, reporting and reconciliation reach your team — with the operation fully visible.
Scope management as a working process.
We work through your setup with you — from the chosen payment flow to the touchpoints it creates — with documentation and support along the way.
