A. The number of transactions will be determined based on the gross number of Visa transactions processed by a DBA or a chain store—not of a corporation that owns several chains. For all levels, if a merchant meets the compliance validation criteria based on Visa OR MasterCard transaction volume, they must comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) requirements.
