There are times that you may want to capture a registrant’s credit card information, but not process a charge against it right away as a means to help reduce no-shows or as security against a hotel room booking. Simply asking registrants to enter credit card information into a regular text box field on a form would be irresponsible and would violate your merchant account agreement and PCI rules. The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a proprietary information security standard for organizations that handle branded credit cards from the major card schemes including Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, and JCB.
ePly has developed a way for it to be secure and compliant with PCI that only captures the credit card information through the merchant account. Credit card information is not held on ePy forms or ePly servers.
