What PCI DSS Requires
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) governs how businesses handle credit card information. Any scheduling platform that collects payments must either achieve PCI compliance directly or use a PCI-compliant payment processor to handle card data. The standard covers network security, data protection, vulnerability management, access control, monitoring, and security policies.
How SchedulingKit Supports PCI DSS
Tokenized Payments via Stripe
Card details are entered directly into Stripe's PCI Level 1 certified payment form. SchedulingKit never sees, processes, or stores raw card numbers — only secure tokens.
No Card Data Storage
Credit card numbers never touch SchedulingKit servers. All payment data flows directly between the client's browser and Stripe's secure infrastructure.
Secure Checkout Experience
Payment forms are rendered by Stripe Elements within your booking page, providing a seamless experience while maintaining full PCI compliance.
Automatic Receipts & Invoicing
After payment, clients receive encrypted receipts via email. Invoice records reference transaction IDs, never card details.
Refund Management
Process refunds through the SchedulingKit dashboard without re-entering card information. Refunds flow through Stripe's secure refund API.
Payment Dispute Handling
Manage chargebacks and disputes through your Stripe dashboard with full transaction history and booking evidence available for dispute resolution.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does SchedulingKit store credit card numbers?
No. SchedulingKit never stores, processes, or transmits raw credit card data. All payment processing is handled by Stripe, which is PCI Level 1 certified — the highest level of compliance.
Do I need my own PCI certification?
No. Because SchedulingKit delegates all payment processing to Stripe, you benefit from Stripe's PCI certification. You don't need to complete a Self-Assessment Questionnaire for card handling.
Can I collect deposits at booking time?
Yes. Configure deposit amounts (flat fee or percentage) per service. Clients pay securely through Stripe when they book, and the deposit is applied to their final bill.
What payment methods are supported?
Through Stripe, SchedulingKit supports credit/debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and bank transfers. PayPal integration is also available as an alternative payment processor.
