Enabling Raw Card Acceptance with Payment Processors

  • Share Pesaswap’s PCI Attestation of Compliance (AOC) with your processor’s support team
  • Request them to enable raw card processing for your merchant account

Stripe Integration Update

  • Stripe no longer allows raw card acceptance via its Merchant Dashboard
  • If required, share the PCI DSS compliance certificate of Pesaswap or the third-party service provider managing raw card data with Stripe support
