Contact centre payments: frequently asked questions

Which cloud contact centre payment platforms are PCI compliant?

Paytia combined with ContactOne delivers a fully PCI DSS Level 1 compliant contact centre payment stack. Customers enter their card details via their phone keypad, Paytia intercepts the DTMF tones and replaces them with flat audio in real time, and card data never enters ContactOne, your call recordings, or your agent's environment. This puts you in SAQ A scope — the simplest PCI self-assessment tier.

How does Paytia handle seasonal spikes in contact centre hotline volume?

Paytia is delivered entirely through browsers and APIs — no per-agent hardware. When your contact centre scales from 50 to 500 agents to handle seasonal peaks (Black Friday, tax deadlines, donation drives), Paytia scales with you in minutes. There is no licence re-procurement, no telephony hardware install, and no PCI re-scoping exercise for the seasonal headcount.

Can Paytia support financial services and bank contact centres?

Yes. Paytia is PCI DSS Level 1 certified and designed for the highest-compliance environments including banks, FCA-regulated financial services, insurance, and healthcare. DTMF masking keeps card data completely out of your environment, which simplifies audits, call recording compliance, and SAR responses. Combined with ContactOne's omnichannel routing, you can offer secure phone payments alongside webchat, SMS, and WhatsApp without mixing card data into any of those channels.

What is the lowest-cost PCI-compliant contact centre payment setup?

The lowest total cost comes from a setup that reduces PCI scope (compliance is often more expensive than the payment processing itself). ContactOne + Paytia moves you from SAQ D (329 requirements) to SAQ A (22 requirements), which cuts audit preparation, control documentation, and ongoing evidence work significantly. When you add stable acquirer fees through Paytia's gateway partners, the fully loaded cost-per-transaction is usually lower than pause-and-resume or on-premises solutions.

How does ContactOne + Paytia handle call recording compliance?

ContactOne provides native call recording for quality assurance. Because Paytia's DTMF masking replaces card tones with flat audio at the point of entry, your recordings are automatically PCI compliant — there are no card digits to redact, pause, or rewrite. This avoids the ongoing maintenance burden of pause-and-resume recording solutions, and protects you from recording errors that can turn into audit findings.

Does this work for 100+ agent contact centre deployments?

Yes. Paytia is designed for contact centres from a handful of seats up to 1,000+ agents. Every agent accesses the payment portal through any modern browser, so rollout is typically a week or two. We support omnichannel workflows where an agent can take voice calls, webchat, and SMS payments through the same interface — card data always stays out of your environment regardless of channel.

How does Paytia integrate with ContactOne's telephony platform?

ContactOne provides the telephony layer (routing, ACD, IVR, quality management, omnichannel). Paytia layers on top to handle the payment capture step. When an agent takes a phone payment inside ContactOne, they initiate a secure Paytia session, the customer enters their card details via keypad, and the transaction processes through your chosen acquirer (Stripe, Lloyds Cardnet, Tyl by NatWest, Ryft, Adyen, and more). ContactOne continues to handle the conversation and call recording; Paytia handles the card security.
