I am curious as to what I have to do to make my website PCI Compliant.
What I want to do is register for a Paypal website Payments Pro Account for the sole purpose of being able to perform reference transactions. I have a vacation cottage that I charge people 25% at the time of reservation and 75% at checkout. I would do this using website payments standard, but I cannot do reference transactions with this system.
I do NOT want to store credit card information. I know I have to get an HTTPS security certificate for PCI compliance, but what are the other steps?
I'd appreciate anybody who can point me in the right direction. Thanks.
