Get Saq A Ep

The biggest difference between the two is SAQ A involves merchants that outsource all responsibility of their card data to third party, while SAQ A-EP involves merchants that don't receive cardholder data, but control how cardholder data is redirected to a PCI DSS validated third-party payment processor.

SAQ A-EP is for those vendors who have outsourced all processing of their cardholder data to a PCI compliant third-party processor (just the same as in SAQ A); however, not all data elements are provided by that service provider.
