Any store accepting credit cards should be PCI compliant, which is a security protocol from credit card processors. Your store will typically have two PCI compliances: one for your online store and one for your in-store system. If your store is not compliant, you receive a fee each month for non-compliance (usually around $20).

If you store has credit card processing set up through Shop Local, you'll follow the steps below to ensure your Shop Local Store is PCI compliant.
