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.
...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!
