    Does anyone know whether aMember is certified under PA-DSS, or whether it will be?

    PA-DSS (Payment Application Data Security Standard) is a list of PCI-compliant payment systems. The list is maintained by the PCI security standards council. It's an extension of VISA's PABP (Payment Application Best Practices) compliant applications list. More information is here: https://www.pcisecuritystandards.org/security_standards/pa_dss.shtml

    The big deal is that after July 2010 as I understand it, VISA will no longer allow credit card processors to work with any payment/authorization software that is not on the PA-DSS list.

    Has anyone else heard anything to corroborate this, or does anyone know if aMember will be on the DSS list in time?

    Who do you use as your payment provider? For example, if you use PayPal or Authorize.NET then the payment most likely happens on their side..
