We've been moving a lot of people to PayPal or Braintree so that the payment information never enters their environment. The fees are higher than what they've paid in the past, but they can stay in business without any concerns about whether or not they are compliant since they don't handle the data at all. For those that still accept cards at physical locations or over the phone, the situation is more dire, but we're generally only concerned with their online operations. Given the choice between slightly higher discount rates and monthly fees or facing the compliance music at any time and going out of business, many choose the slightly higher fees. -Justin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:321674 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
