Store And Forward and PCI DSS

Store And Forward: process of storing card data at time of payment for authorization at later time.

Associations allow temporary storate of card data included track data II which under normal conditions cannot be stored.

Storing such card data is simply too much risk exposure. If you need to use Store And Forward then keep it to minimum data required to create an authorization: card number and expiration.

Ideally merchants should just not use Store And Forward or outsource the process to a compliant PCI DSS provider.

Merchant levels and PCI compliance requirements

Compliance with card security programs is essential when accepting card payments. One of the first steps for a merchant of any size is to define their Merchant Level and the associated PCI compliance actions. Scope of work ranges from completing PCI Self-Assessment Questionnaire to engaging a QSA (Qualified Security Assessor) and undergo audits to validate compliance.
