Thank you for clarifying that you do not use QuickBooks or its services to receive or process payments and that your franchise-mandated Point-of-Sale (POS) system, which handles all card transactions, is already PCI compliant, Fort.

 

Given that your franchise's POS system adheres to PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) requirements, your business's PCI compliance aligns with the security protocols of that system.

 

SecurityMetrics collaborates with Intuit, primarily to help QuickBooks Payments users achieve PCI compliance. If you have an active or inactive QuickBooks Payments account, you may receive automated PCI compliance reminders designed for businesses using QuickBooks' payment processing services.

 

Since your transactions are handled exclusively through your franchise’s POS system, these notifications from QuickBooks are likely not applicable to your business. You can disregard them unless you decide to start using QuickBooks Payments for payment processing in the future.

 

For more detailed information about how QuickBooks handles PCI DSS compliance, you can refer to Learn about QuickBooks PCI DSS Compliance Services, or reach out to QuickBooks Payments phone support directly for clarification on any related services or notifications.

 

If you have further questions or need more assistance,  you can reply to this thread, and the Community team is always here to support you.
