It's completely understandable that you want to avoid an extra fee for PCI compliance assessment, Cindy.

First, you'll need to determine which Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) is appropriate for your business. There are several types of SAQs, and using the wrong one could result in your self-assessment being invalid. Also, the questions can be quite technical and challenging, especially if you aren't familiar with them. Thus, I recommend consulting with an expert who can assist you in completing the assessment accurately.

Alternatively, you can find other security companies that can help you with the PCI compliance assessment. However, please note that you'll need to pay fees based on the company's services.
