Hi all, apologies for what is probably a very basic question. I will be selling some of my products at an annual symposium, which functions much the same as a farmer's market or trade show. I've received this note from the event organizers:
If you would like to use CSU’s Wi-Fi, you must have a validated P2PE solution. Please read the
statement below provided by Colorado State University. If you decide this is the route you would like to go, you must email [event organizer's e-mail] verification of a validated solution, preferably by June 30, 2024.
Statement from Colorado State University (CSU)
Processing credit cards over the CSU's networks, including Wi-Fi, must be transacted through a validated P2PE solution. Validation of these processing solutions can be found here: https://listings.pcisecuritystandards.org/assessors_and_solutions/point_to_point_encryption_solutions?agree=true. We recommend that you contact your credit card vendor service for assistance in verifying your solution is a valid P2PE solution.
I have a 2nd generation square reader, and it's my understanding that Square POS devices are fully PCI compliant. However, I wasn't able to find any instances of "Square," "Block" or "Afterpay" in the above link, and I'm a bit at a loss as to what to send to the event organizers. I could do the transactions using mobile data, but I would much prefer to do it over public wifi if possible to avoid unnecessary roaming charges (I have a Canadian cell number).
Any help is appreciated!
