One of the requirements to use SagePay is that the software must be "PCI-DSS Certified". Here's the quote: > The Payment Application - Data Security Standard (PA-DSS) requires that any software that stores, processes or transmits credit card data must be PA-DSS certified by July 1, 2010. Coupled with this, as a merchant, if you use a software product to store, process or transmit credit card data, then effective July 1, 2010, when asked by your Merchant Acquirer (credit card processor), you must validate that the software you are using is PA-DSS certified. So, my question is, is HikaShop PCI-DSS certified? Does it need to be? I assume the above quote is not just from SagePay by would be applicable to any e-commerce program???

From what I understand, the PCI DSS certification is not necessary for developers: > Do developers need to be PCI DSS compliant? > > If you're a developer that's simply integrating a client's website with our payment gateway and handing over the completed project to your client, then you don't need to become PCI DSS compliant. > However, if at any stage you build and host a back office solution for your client, you'll need to look into your PCI DSS requirements and possibly also PA DSS. That's an extract from SagePay documentation on PCI DSS: [ www.sagepay.com/pci-dss-compliance](http://www.sagepay.com/pci-dss-compliance) They also provide such PCI DSS compliance assessments for merchants on that page.
