CCAvenue TapPay is certified for both of these standards.

Merchants who are using CCAvenue Vault to save their cards, can continue using the same tokens generated for the vault as before. However only PCI DSS compliant Merchants can store Network Tokens.

What is Pin-on-Glass and what are its benefits?

PIN on glass refers to PIN entry on an integrated touchscreen of a PCI-approved smart terminal. In this case, a instead of a physical PIN pad, the touchscreen of the device, namely a smartphone or tablet, displays a virtual PIN pad when prompted to enter the code.

In the case of CCAvenue TapPay, the card is read electronically via NFC, with a contactless tap of the card against the smartphone device. Based on the purchase value, when relevant, the payer will be prompted to enter his PIN securely with a dynamic virtual PIN pad displayed on the touchscreen of the smartphone. Both the electronic card data and PIN are encrypted and securely transmitted to the payment processor and card issuer for verification. Once verified the smartphone receives this confirmation and completes the transaction.

The security and ease of acceptance without additional hardware requirements are the key benefits of this solution.
