Do I need to accept EMV payments?

Description

Do I need to accept EMV payments?

Resolution

Only merchants operating in a retail environment where they normally accept swiped transactions are mandated to use EMV terminals. Merchants using eCommerce, telephone, and mail order transactions where the card is not present are not mandated to use EMV terminals.

Once you have an EMV solution, all transactions that involve a credit card with an EMV chip must use the EMV chip for transaction processing.
