What are PCI SAQ types?

SAQ types depend on how you accept payments. SAQ A covers merchants using fully outsourced card processing via hosted checkout. SAQ B covers standalone terminals with no electronic card storage. SAQ C covers payment application systems connected to the internet. SAQ D is the most complex, for merchants who store cardholder data. Most small businesses using modern processors qualify for SAQ A.
