How payments are handled
When a guest makes a payment or donation through RSVPify, their credit card information goes directly and securely to Stripe. RSVPify never stores, processes, or transmits credit card numbers, CVVs, or any other sensitive payment details. Stripe takes care of all of that securely on its own systems.
Once the transaction is submitted, Stripe returns a tokenized reference to RSVPify. This allows RSVPify to track and manage the payment without ever seeing or handling the raw card data.
Why RSVPify doesn’t have PCI certification
Because RSVPify’s infrastructure doesn’t touch or store cardholder data, our platform is out of scope for PCI DSS certification. All PCI compliance requirements are handled by Stripe, which provides end-to-end security and compliance for every transaction processed through RSVPify.
How this compares to other vendors
Some event or payment platforms may work with different processors that allow direct access to cardholder data or even process that data on their own servers. RSVPify’s integration with Stripe doesn’t allow that kind of access — even technically. This design adds another layer of protection and reduces risk by keeping sensitive payment information completely separate from RSVPify’s systems.
In summary
• RSVPify uses Stripe, a PCI DSS Level 1 certified processor.
• RSVPify never has access to credit card details.
• Stripe maintains all PCI compliance responsibilities.
• This setup keeps payment data fully isolated and secure.
