PCI DSS is a security standard that every business accepting card payments must follow, regardless of size.
What It Actually Requires
The standard covers how card data is transmitted, processed, and stored — encryption, access controls, and regular security testing are all part of the requirements.
The Easy Path: Let a Gateway Handle It
Using a hosted payment gateway (where card details never touch your own server) dramatically reduces your compliance burden, since the gateway provider carries most of the PCI DSS responsibility instead of you.
