I checked Magento web-site. Looks like PA-DSS is not available for Community edition and you’ll have to pay at least $3000/year for Professional Edition to have the PA-DSS component. Well, I understand that. Magento invested many $$ into PA-DSS development and certification. They need to get their $$ somehow. But what about tens thousands CE users? Are they forced to migrate to payment methods like WorldPay, 2Checkout, Paypal EC or GoogleCheckout? Or use solutions like CRESecure and X-Payments by X-Cart?
