Intuit is PCI compliant, ensuring the security of QuickBooks applications. However, using QuickBooks Payments services doesn't automatically make you PCI compliant; it indicates that specific transaction components meet compliance standards.
The PCI Security Standards Council created the PCI DSS Standard to better protect customer payment card data from suspicious activities. All merchants that accept credit or debit cards are required to complete a Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) and are responsible for protecting payment card information and meeting PCI compliance requirements.
Yes, Intuit will request you to submit PCI compliance documentation to confirm that you have met security requirements. As a merchant, you are responsible for safeguarding payment card information and fulfilling all PCI compliance requirements.
For the PCI annual payment, Intuit works together with Security Metrics to streamline the PCI compliance validation process. Security Metrics requires merchants to pay an annual fee. If you choose to use Security Metrics, you have to set up an account with them. Once you have completed Security Metrics Fast Pass, choose the PCI package that meets your needs. Then, complete an SAQ and set up your scans accordingly.
