Yes. All businesses that store, process or transmit payment cardholder data must be PCI Compliant.

 

Found these bits of information for you, as well.

 

"PCI is a security standard, not a law. Compliance with it is mandated by the contracts that merchants sign with the card brands (Visa, MasterCard, etc.) and with the banks that actually handle their payment processing."

Without the protection that PCI compliance brings, your business could be vulnerable to costly attacks and data breaches. If a data breach occurs and you're not PCI compliant, your business will have to pay penalties and fines.
