A similar question to what I am asking has been already answered on the link below.
Paypal payments pro and pci compliance
But this question is three years old. So I would appreciate if someone can give me an up to date answer.
On PayPal's website its mentioned that in order to use PayPal Pro you'll have to get PCI/DSS certified and I am trying to implement PayPal Pro on one of my e-commerce sites. I am not going to store any card details and will use a SSL certificate to transmit data securely.
Do I need to do anything else to be PCI/DSS compliant and in order to keep my PayPal Pro account active?
And is there an easy work around of making this work? For instance RackSpace offers PCI / DSS compliant servers. Switching to them will help me implement most of the network based requirements.
As long as you're using a solid SSL and you're not saving any sensitive data to your own servers like you mentioned then you'll be just fine.
Things get a lot more difficult when you are saving credit card details to your own server.
