PCI certified

 I found this information from your website

"In order to accept payments directly on their website, merchants need to be PCI certified, which typically costs $50,000 – 100,000."

I would like to know more about PCI certification process and its associated cost, where can I learn more about that. Thanks.

    Information from Internet said "Your processor charges you a monthly fee for not being compliant with the PCI DSS standards. The fee usually ranges from $5 to $19.95". Moneris charges merchants a monthly PCI fee, therefore no such thing of $50,000 – 100,000 for PCI certification, am I right?

    In reply to xdang:

    In regards to fees it might be best if you speak with our sales department.

    So in regards to PCI, regardless merchants are expected to be PCI compliant. However when using our hosted paypage or hosted tokenization solutions to host card fields, it will reduce PCI scope. So in terms of responsibility it will be less demanding.
