Hi, if I only accept credit card payments by sending invoices through quickbooks, do I need to be pci compliant? Do i need to sign up for Security Metrics?

Hi, Lila.

I'll share some details that will assist you with your concerns regarding PCI complaints in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

Yes, you're correct. Once you use QuickBooks Payments or accept credit/debit card payments, you're required to adhere to PCI compliance standards. As you accept cards for payment, you need to have payment security throughout your local environment. This includes all applications and systems on your local network.
