I'm just trying to get info on the complex PCI IT topic. &nbsp;Looking for what methods are out there to resolve an issue as I'm coming to understand it. <br />
<br />
1. webstore SaaS solution that allows us to create storefronts and customers buy things from their storefront.<br />
2. we use Paypal(not sure which one) as the gateway for offline order processing. <br />
3. Reportedly SaaS company isn't PCI compliant b/c they don't hand off to the gateway (paypal) for the user to pay with cc info. <br />
4. We need to be able to easily have the customer process a refund without having to do this manually through gateway(paypal). Is how i hear we're doing this. <br />
<br />
So are there any best practices API angles or ASP.NET or '3rd party' &nbsp;products/&quot;ROUTES&quot; that I can investigate to meet the need on line 4? <br />
<br />
Trying to understand the flow of how people are dealing with this when a SaaS solution is involved and you're processing payment soffline via a gateway like paypal and needed to easily do refunds post authorization or pre authorization without touching/storing the customer cc. Dont want to store data on any of our servers either.
