If you just pass the number through to a payment provider, you only have to do a hyper-basic self-cert compliance that pretty much says "Yes, our people are ID-checked, and we don't store credit-card numbers anywhere on the premises/in the business". Makes much more sense. Yep, it is – it’s a lot easier to leave it as “Someone else’s problem” than to go through the PCI-DSS compliance yourself.

If you ever need a highly competent audio-typist again, drop me an email. I have two 'virtual assistants' in my local network and both are fantastic, reliable, good value, and can cope with anything. Or else get Dragon and run the digital files through that. Yes, there will be errors the first time, but it learns very quickly.
