Storing credit card information To protect Customers’ Protected Personal Information (PPI) and to comply with PCI regulations and the Checkfront Terms of Service, please do not store credit card information in booking or note fields. Checkfront is PCI compliant. We securely transmit payment details to certified payment providers only, and do NOT store credit card numbers, expiration dates, or CVV codes in our databases. We recommend using a payment provider like Stripe to securely capture credit card details and process payments. See our List of supported payment providers for more options. The penalties for breaking PCI compliance are steep for both you, the merchant, and us, the service provider. For more information, please see our Terms of Service: Checkfront Terms of Service.
