title: Do need to worry about PCI compliance if I use Stripe or Authorize.net with WooCommerce? And what do I have to do?
body: <p>I'd like to set up a Wordpress site and use <a href="http://www.woothemes.com/woocommerce/" rel="nofollow">WooCommerce</a>. In terms of payment processors, I'd like to use either <a href="http://www.woothemes.com/products/authorize-net-cim/" rel="nofollow">Authorize.net CIM</a> or <a href="http://www.woothemes.com/products/stripe/" rel="nofollow">Stripe</a>. At the top of each of those pages, it says that an SSL certificate is required, so based on that fact and <a href="http://docs.woothemes.com/document/pci-dss-compliance-and-woocommerce/" rel="nofollow">the PCI-DSS Compliance article on the WooCommerce site</a>, I assumed that <strong>PCI Compliance would be necessary.</strong> Is that correct?</p>
  
  <p><strong>If I do need to worry about PCI Compliance</strong>, what does that mean I need to do? I'm familar with the 12 requirements, I just don't understand the practical implications for <em>me</em>.</p>
  
  <p>Specifically, I understand that many of the PCI requirements are covered by the hosting provider. Others PCI requirements are covered by the coding. Both of those things I don't have to really worry about, once it's set up. One thing I know <em>I'll</em> need to do, though, is enable SSL on the site. <em>Is there anything else I am responsible to do</em>, though? For example, annually get my site scanned for PCI Compliance? Manage my store in a particular way?</p>
  
  <p>Any info is more than welcome! Things are a bit vague for me regarding this and PCI Compliance.</p>
