DA-DSS PCI Compliance
In order to comply with the emerging standards of PCI Compliance, the AMSI PA-DSS Implementation Guide
(IG) is included with PAY@PC. If you did not receive a printed version of this document from your merchant
representative, it is included on the PAY@PC Installation Disk for your convenience. It is strongly recommended
that you follow with read though the IG BEFORE installing and setting up PAY@PC using this document. PCI
Standardization is an on-going process and as the PA-DSS standards are constantly evolving the IG is regularly
updated. As such, the IG will supersede any information outlined in this User Guide and Tutorial.
You should contact your merchant representative once a year for the most recent version of the AMSI PA-DSS
Implementation Guide. This should be version 2.02 or higher.
