Why do we outsource payment processing?
We want our team to remain focused on the customer experience. We love travel, building memorable journeys, sharing unique experiences, and solving any unusual problems that may pop up along the way. Maintaining security and technology compliance in the modern world can be an ongoing challenge. That's why we outsource our payment processing to Let Go CoCo, LLC. Following is a copy of their PCI compliance certificate.
What is PCI? PCI stands for the Payment Card Industry. The major payment card brands Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover Financial Services, and JCB International established the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) to help merchants prevent payment card data theft.
Compliance with the PCI DSS or “PCI compliance,” is required for all businesses that process, store, or transmit payment card data. Merchants must achieve PCI compliance annually. Let Go Coco, LLC uses the security of Quickbooks for payment processing; this program is designed with several layers of security, including PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) compliance (a set of standards for handling credit card information), Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and RSA encryption to protect financial data during online transactions, and multi-factor authentication, to protect your financial data from fraud and breaches.
