You will need to follow the Non-compliant process to complete and submit the PCI questionnaire. This needs to be done annually. At Guardian, we do not charge an annual PCI compliance fee, nor do we charge a non-compliant fee. Learn more.

If you chose to use the authorization method your customers card will only be authorized for the amount of the inspection (like when you check in at a hotel) then the transaction will be finalized at a later time that you specify in the software. Usually at the time of the inspection.

If your customer enters their email address in the payment process, they will get an email receipt with all the details of the transaction.

The best way to process a refund, is to do it within your inspection software by going to the inspection detail and choosing refund. You can also process a refund in the cardpointe gateway. When you log into your cardpointe account and go to the reporting tab, the default view is of the past 7 days transactions. The transaction number is a hyperlink that when clicked will show you all of the details of the transaction and have an option to refund available.
