You have multiple PA-DSS certified competitors with one-page checkout already. Google "PA-DSS one page checkout" and you'll find two of them on page 1.

PA-DSS is derived from PCI-DSS. Same test as PCI-DSS. From the PA-DSS Requirements and security document under Scope of PA-DSS:

"The PA-DSS applies to software vendors and others who develop payment applications that store, process, or transmit cardholder data"

You might want to read a good article on a trend of inflating PCI-DSS requirements, The QSA Connundrum. Its easy to expand what needs to be done saying its more secure. But ultimately, its the PCI-DSS or PA-DSS standard we are required to meet - everything else is optional. When selling software, that option should be the customers option not something forced by the software vendor.
