    Answers to the most commonly-asked questions pertaining to Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard compliance

    DISCLAIMER: The following answers pertain to a webstore built with default Zen Cart code without any customizations, using only built-in features/modules/capabilities, in the default configuration.
    Any customizations you do to your store render these statements incomplete and require that you answer these questions yourself.

    PABP Standards Compliance

    A fresh install of Zen Cart contains several built-in payment modules which connect to an external gateway to do live credit card transaction processing. These built-in gateway modules are designed to be PABP compliant.



    However, any alterations made to these modules by an individual storeowner, or any addon modules built by third-party developers, may or may not be PABP compliant. The onus is on the store merchant to ensure compliance for satisfying PABP requirements for their own merchant account TOS.
