Reseller / Integrator is defined as?

• A. An entity that sells and/or integrates payment applications but does not develop them
• B. A company that distributes hardware for payments
• C. A company that only audits payment apps
• D. A company that develops payment applications

Answer: (A)

In PCI DSS terminology, a Reseller / Integrator is someone who sells and/or integrates a payment application but does not develop the software themselves. They act as a deployment partner, installing, configuring, and integrating the vendor’s app into a merchant’s environment, handling interoperability and support, while the actual code and product are created by the software vendor. This distinguishes them from developers (who create the software), hardware distributors (who deal with devices, not software deployment), and auditors (who assess security rather than deploy or integrate).
