Default Re: Authorize.net DPM (PA/DSS Compliant)

The merchant's bank is responsible for verification of compliance. I would advise not worrying about what other merchants or banks are doing, but to verify with the compliance officer of the bank that holds your merchant account that you are in compliance. You can send them information about the software you want to use to get their blessing (x-payments, authorize.net DPM, Barintree, etc.) They may have warned you about compliance, then asked you to self access by filling out a questionnaire. It could even be in the small print of something that you signed. They are likely going to do everything to reduce their risk, and not worry about expending extra effort to make sure you comply.

This gives you information about remaining in a state of non-compliance that could put you at risk: http://www.braintreepayments.com/blog/pci-compliance-basics-for-credit-card-secuirty

When you look at someone else's site, you might not have the full picture of any discussions/agreements they have with their merchant account provider. Your best information probably comes from working with your own provider.
