PCI Compliance Warning

You may receive a email notification from Stripe warning you about passing complete credit card data to the Stripe servers:

*From: *Stripe <support@stripe.com>

*Subject: **Action required to process safely on Stripe*

*Date: *May 21, 2019 at 11:11:01 AM CDT

*To:

<https://stripe.com/>

Hello there, and welcome to Stripe!

We noticed that you are passing your cardholder's full credit card number

to Stripe's API. We strongly discourage you from handling this information

directly because doing so:

Potentially exposes your customer's sensitive data to bad actors

Excludes your payments from protection by Radar

<https://stripe.com/docs/radar>, Stripe's fraud protection solution

Requires your business to meet complex and burdensome PCI compliance

requirements <https://stripe.com/docs/security#pci-dss-guidelines>

To keep your customer's information safe, we were unable to process the

unsafe charge you just sent us. In order to process payments securely on

Stripe, change your integration to collect payment information using one of

our official client integrations <https://stripe.com/docs/payments>. These

integrations ensure that no sensitive card data ever needs to touch your

server.

In rare cases, you may have to continue handling full credit card

information directly. If this applies to you, you can enable unsafe

processing in your dashboard

<https://dashboard.stripe.com/account/integration/settings>.

For any questions, just reply to this email and we'd be happy to help.

Yours,

The Stripe Team
