How can I prove PCI Compliance?

[Michael_L]

I've been asked by a client to provide proof of PCI compliance.  I told them that we use Square, and that the compliance is all handled by them, but they asked us to provide proof - some form of documentation from Square that proves they are compliant.

I have searched around but I have no idea what to give them.  Does Square have a downloadable document or anything that I can send them?

easy game. You're correct, Square handles all PCI Compliance. 

Here is what I write when people ask this: 

Whisky Run GC does not store any credit card data. All credit card data is handled through Square, our payment processor. Square is a Level 1 PCI Compliant processor which means they are of the highest standards when it comes to data encryption/protection when processing payments. They even helped set the global payment security standards.

Hope that helps
