Someone has been denied a merchant account because X-Cart is not PA-DSS certified.

This is because the VISA mandate phase kicked in last year that requires acquirers to only board new merchants who are PCI-DSS compliant or are using software that is PA-DSS compliant. Apparently, some acquirers are missing the "or" in that and are requiring PA-DSS compliance for new merchants. In July of this year the next phase of the mandate kicks in requiring acquirers to ensure their merchants are only using PA-DSS compliant applications. No "or PCI-DSS compliant" in the July mandate.
