We’re excited to announce that RepSpark has achieved PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) compliance for 2025–2026.
This milestone reflects our ongoing commitment to building a wholesale platform that is secure, reliable, and ready to scale with global brands.
Brands have relied on RepSpark to power their B2B ecommerce for years, and now, with independent validation of our PCI compliance, they have even more reason to trust every transaction that moves across our platform.
What PCI DSS Compliance Actually Means
PCI DSS is a globally recognized security framework built to protect sensitive payment card data. It sets strict technical, operational, and procedural requirements for any organization that processes or transmits cardholder information.
To earn PCI compliance, RepSpark underwent a rigorous third-party assessment of our:
- Infrastructure
- Data-handling practices
- Security controls
- Network and application safeguards
- Monitoring and incident-response processes
This certification confirms that RepSpark meets the industry’s most demanding standards for securing financial information.
In simple terms: if your brand runs payments through RepSpark, your cardholder data is protected by enterprise-grade security.
Why PCI Compliance Matters for Wholesale Brands
Whether you sell apparel, footwear, tactical, golf, or lifestyle goods, your wholesale channel depends on trust and seamless transactions. Payment security is a huge part of that equation, and not every B2B platform treats it with equal seriousness.
Here’s why PCI compliance should be a non-negotiable when evaluating wholesale software:
1. Your Buyers Expect Safe, Frictionless Purchasing
Retailers want confidence that their payment information is handled correctly. PCI compliance ensures that every checkout, transaction, and stored credential meets strict security protocols.
2. It Reduces Your Risk (and Your Headaches)
When your wholesale platform is PCI compliant, your brand inherits far less risk. RepSpark’s certification helps streamline your vendor reviews, IT security checklists, and compliance documentation, saving your team hours of work.
3. It Protects Your Revenue and Reputation
A single data breach can cost millions and irreparably damage trust with retailers. Choosing a PCI-compliant platform safeguards you from vulnerabilities introduced by insecure systems.
4. It Signals Enterprise-Grade Readiness
Many retailers and distributors now require vendors to use PCI-compliant systems. Being on RepSpark helps brands meet those expectations effortlessly.
Part of a Larger, Long-Term Security Roadmap
This recertification of our PCI compliance for 2025-2026 is a signal of our continued effort to ensure our customers’ security.
We also recently achieved SOC 2 Type 2 compliance, which was a significant milestone in our security journey.
RepSpark is actively expanding its compliance and security investments, including:
- Maintaining readiness for GDPR and global privacy frameworks
- Continuous monitoring, logging, and testing
- Ongoing third-party audits and penetration testing
These layers build on each other to create a secure environment for every brand, rep, and retailer using RepSpark.
Why Security Should Influence Your Wholesale Platform Decision
Choosing a wholesale platform isn’t just about catalogs, linesheets, assortments, reps, or reorders. If your data (or your customers’ data) isn’t protected, the entire engine of your B2B business is vulnerable.
A PCI-compliant platform signals:
- Maturity
- Reliability
- Enterprise trustworthiness
- Operational excellence
RepSpark is proud to deliver not only modern B2B ecommerce tools but also the rigorous security foundation brands deserve.
