IT staff are involved in the design, development, maintenance, and administration of any systems that involve payment card transactions.
IT staff do not directly take payments or issue refunds, but they can play a large role in making sure that customer payment information is safe.
IT staff may be responsible for setting up and maintaining terminals and computers that departments use for processing payments as well as departmental websites and applications that are integrated with payment systems such as CardConnect, CyberSource, and Authorize.net.
