Stripe PCI compliance

[wwgreen]

Pardon for repeating this question here, but it may not be answered as quickly if left under the other post I started. I also see some past answers but nothing recent. So, after having some random problems with PayPal Express checkout lately, my question (and hopefully easily answered) is :

If I add a Stripe payment method, using the stock cs-cart add-on (currently on cs-cart ver 4.12.2.SP2), will that keep us PCI compliant and out of scope for storing any data on our own server whatsoever?

Thank you for any thoughts from CS or anyone with experience and knowledge of PCI.

Yes, with current Stripe integration secure data will not be stored on your server

Thank you, ecomlabs, very helpful and thank you for taking time to respond. Answer from CSCart also confirms here :

Stripe Payment Cs Cart Default Or Add-On?

I can confirm that the current standard Stripe & Stripe Connect integration in CS-Cart doesn’t store credit card data in your installation. Even if the fields appear to be on the checkout page of your store or marketplace, their data actually goes to Stripe only. Stripe Checkout will just make it more obvious for your customers, because they’ll be entering their data on a dedicated Stripe page, after selecting a local and familiar payment method.
