The short answer is that Done5 Technology does not support PCI compliance. However, you can use a third-party shopping cart API (application programming interface) on your site to ensure PCI compliance.
About PCI compliance
Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance is a proprietary security standard that is intended to protect customer information for various types of payment cards (credit cards, debit cards, etc.). Any company that accepts, processes, or stores credit card information must be PCI compliant. Failure to comply with PCI security standards can result in heavy fines, restrictions, or permanent expulsion from card acceptance programs.
Although A2 Hosting does not directly support PCI compliance, several third-party providers have PCI-compliant shopping cart APIs that you can use in your own e-commerce applications.
