Understanding Sage Exchange Desktop

Sage Exchange Desktop 2

Understanding Sage Exchange Desktop Sage Exchange Desktop is a PA-DSS (Payment Application – Data Security Standard) certified payment platform that integrates with Sage DacEasy. When a user initiates a credit card payment, Sage DacEasy makes a seamless call to Sage Exchange Desktop, where all aspects of processing the credit card occurs. This includes the transmission and storage of credit card data. Sage DacEasy does not process or transmit credit card data.

Sage DacEasy does not require PA-DSS certification because it does not store, process, or transmit credit card data. Products that integrate with Sage Exchange Desktop are listed only for reference on the PA-DSS certified application list. See www.sagepayments.com/pci for additional information about PCI compliance and payment applications or contact us at [email protected].
