What this can look like

A Racine retailer that was emailing card numbers to the office moves to secure payment links and answers its PCI questionnaire in an afternoon.

Illustrative example of a typical project.

## Who it's for

Service businesses that invoice, shops and restaurants taking online orders, nonprofits and churches collecting donations, property managers, municipalities, SaaS founders and any business tired of chasing payments.

## How it works

1. **Payment flow mapping:** We map how money comes in today: invoices, deposits, subscriptions, refunds, payouts and how it reaches your accounting.
2. **Architecture & quote:** We choose the right Stripe products and integrations and quote a fixed price.
3. **Build in test mode:** Everything is built and tested with Stripe test cards and webhooks before a single real dollar moves.
4. **Go live & reconcile:** We switch to live mode, watch the first transactions and make sure payouts match your books.

## PCI Compliance for Small Business Websites FAQs

### What is the easiest PCI level for a small business?

When card fields are fully hosted by your processor, most small merchants qualify for the shortest self-assessment questionnaire. We build to that by default.

### Why do you recommend Stripe?

Stripe has excellent developer tools, transparent pricing, strong fraud protection and supports cards, ACH, Apple Pay, Google Pay, subscriptions, invoicing and in-person terminals in one account. We also integrate Square, PayPal and Authorize.net when that is the better fit.

### Do I need to be PCI compliant?

Yes, but a properly built Stripe integration keeps card numbers off your servers entirely, which shrinks your PCI scope to the simplest self-assessment. We build it that way by default.
