OverviewA Silent Order Post or Direct Post is a transmission method where form data from a merchant website are getting directly posted to a third-party server. This is commonly achieved through the form action attribute that specifies the URL the data are sent to. Sensitive data such as card details can be captured within a merchant’s website without being processed by the merchant server as the POST is submitted silently.

| title | PCI-DSS Considerations |
|---|
| Merchants processing card transactions using the Silent Post model must submit the PCI DSS Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) A-EP. This SAQ is more comprehensive and thus might require more time and resources in comparison to SAQ A applicable to merchants that use hosted payment pages. However, merchants should always consult with their acquirer to evaluate the level of compliance required and refer to the PCI DSS guidelines. This does not affect the use of pseudo card numbers which is possible without submitting the SAQ questionaire. |
