Expert Guidance for Every PCI SAQ
Completing a Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) is a required step for many merchants and service providers. But choosing the right SAQ and answering the questions correctly can be confusing. We make it simple.
Which SAQ Is Right for You?
Your SAQ type depends on how your business handles payment card data.
📄 SAQ A
For fully outsourced e-commerce merchants with no access to cardholder data. Uses hosted payment pages like Stripe Checkout or PayPal.
📄 SAQ A-EP
For e-commerce merchants using a third-party payment gateway but hosting their own checkout page that impacts card security.
📄 SAQ B / B-IP
For merchants using standalone dial-out terminals (SAQ B) or IP-connected PTS terminals (SAQ B-IP).
📄 SAQ C / C-VT
For merchants using payment applications on connected devices (SAQ C) or web-based virtual terminals (SAQ C-VT).
📄 SAQ P2PE
For merchants using validated Point-to-Point Encryption (P2PE) solutions with no electronic cardholder data storage.
📄 SAQ D
The most comprehensive SAQ. Required for merchants or service providers storing or processing cardholder data directly.

SAQ Support FAQ
Common questions about the Self-Assessment Questionnaire process.
How do I know which SAQ to complete?
Your SAQ type depends on how you accept payments. Our free SAQ Wizard asks a few questions about your payment setup and recommends the correct SAQ. Factors include whether you store card data, use hosted checkout, or have IP-connected terminals.
How long does it take to complete an SAQ?
With our guided support, most businesses complete their SAQ in 1-3 hours. SAQ A (the simplest) can take under an hour, while SAQ D (the most comprehensive) may take longer depending on your environment’s complexity.
Do I need ASV scans to complete my SAQ?
It depends on your SAQ type. SAQ A-EP, B-IP, C, C-VT, and D require quarterly ASV scans. SAQ A, B, and P2PE typically do not. Our wizard will tell you if scans are required for your situation.
What happens after I complete the SAQ?
After completing your SAQ, you’ll sign an Attestation of Compliance (AOC) and submit both documents to your acquiring bank or payment processor. We generate these documents automatically for you.
