The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a set of security standards designed to ensure that ALL companies that accept, process, store or transmit credit card information maintain a secure environment. The PCI standard requires a continuous validation process in order to remain compliant, and dictates that all businesses that store, process or transmit payment cardholder data must be PCI Compliant.

With <Pay>, Twilio developers can capture end customer credit card information, and then pass this information along to your payment provider of choice through Twilio’s newly created <Pay> Connectors for processing. Best of all, <Pay> handles all of the PCI infrastructure and auditing requirements, so you can focus on building your payment workflows without the hassle.
