After emailing my initial findings about this to the list, I received an email from Greg Miller. Apparently I referenced the wrong policy. See the correct information below.

***************************

Kathy -

Good morning!
 
Someone forwarded your email to the Communicator 's Forum to me. Yes, I am the appropriate person to assist the University Community with their payment card processes. Unfortunately, the procedure you referenced at http://www.policy.umn.edu/Policies/Finance/Cash/BANKING_PROC01.html is not current.
 
The correct location for the policy is:
http://policy.umn.edu/Policies/Finance/Cash/PAYMENTCARDS.html
and the related procedures are at:
http://policy.umn.edu/Policies/Finance/Cash/PAYMENTCARDS_PROC01.html
http://policy.umn.edu/Policies/Finance/Cash/PAYMENTCARDS_PROC02.html
 
Please feel free to contact me directly with any questions.
 
Thanks!
 
Greg

Thanks Kathy for the response :)  Someone else told me to contact Greg...and I did last week.  He seems like a very nice and helpful person...hoping to get a solution.

I emailed OIT Security and was told the following:

The first stop for anyone considering or changing methods of accepting credit cards should be the University Payment Card Compliance Office.

Here is their web page with contact info:

http://www.finsys.umn.edu/ar/pcidss.html

Once the process has been approved by the University Payment Card Compliance Office, the University Payment Card Compliance Office notifies OIT Security if credit card information will be transmitted, processed, or stored using the University Internet.

The policy that is referenced on this website can be found here: http://www.policy.umn.edu/Policies/Finance/Cash/BANKING_PROC01.html

I realize that this may not be a complete solution, but perhaps the contact person for payment card compliance would have some suggestions - Greg Miller, [log in to unmask].

...sorry for the cross posting to multiple lists...

Does anyone know if there is a central University service that can help us sell an item online for an athletic fundraiser...and that can take online credit card payments?  We'd rather not have our buyers fill out simple online order form and then have to (separately) send in a check, cash or call our UMC Business Office with a credit card number (which we've had to do in the past).

If not, does anyone know if it's against University policy to set up a PayPal account and embed the "buy now" button on the page to take an online credit card payment? I'm considering the "standard" plan here: https://merchant.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_render-content&content_ID=merchant/compare_wp_products

Or this there another option I should consider?

Thanks in advance!
