Storify will no longer be available after May 16, 2018 so glad you posted the Gist version too.

<p>This is going to be informational, as we had a good conversation over this area on Craft Slack. And good fun trying to get around the idiotic StackExchange 'subjective' monitor to publish it here -- couldn't imagine what this wanted.</p>

<p>Why would you want to avoid PCI compliance on your own server? Because it's a bank-level task to get and maintain it.</p>

<p>See the conversation linked in the answer below, thank you.</p>

How do you gain PCI compliance without certifying your server for Craft, with or without Commerce?

Why would you want to avoid PCI compliance on your own server? Because it's a bank-level task to get and maintain it.
