eCommerce

eCommerce, or electronic commerce, is typically the online transaction of business featuring linked computer systems.  All payments whether they are credit card, debit card, electronic check, ACH, or wire transfer that flow on electronic rails for payment input, processing, or storage are referred to as electronic payments and are therefore classified as eCommerce.  The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) acts as the basis for regulatory compliance for payment card transactions and is governed by the PCI Security Standards Council (PCI SSC).

At UNC Charlotte, the eCommerce department acts to enable, support, and secure electronic payments.  It manages the establishment of and support to all eCommerce units, or Merchants, on campus.  It provides guidance to and oversight to those campus eCommerce units on industry, national, state, and University compliance regulations and standards.  It develops and implements changes as necessary to University policy and procedures related to eCommerce.  It also acts as the contact point or interface for third party eCommerce applications and state and regulatory agencies as they relate to that function.
