They’re so ubiquitous that you likely have one in your pocket or in your purse as you read this. For customers, they constitute a proof of purchase in case they want a refund or wish to verify the transaction amount against their credit card statements. For businesses, they provide the only evidence that a credit card payment was authorized, which is why businesses are weighed down by paper receipt copies — sometimes up to seven years’ worth — that are filed, boxed and stored. ![Picture of Christina Lavingia](https://blog.payjunction.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Christina%20Lavingia%2c%20Content%20Marketing%20Manager.jpg?width=48&height=48&name=Christina%20Lavingia%2c%20Content%20Marketing%20Manager.jpg) Christina Lavingia 3/15/2018 READ MORE](https://blog.payjunction.com/evolution-credit-card-authorization) - ## [![ezyVet Veterinary Software Now Offers PayJunction Integration](https://blog.payjunction.com/hubfs/BLOG/HERO%20IMAGES/ezyvet-veterinary-software-integration.svg) ezyVet Veterinary Software Now Offers PayJunction Integration Managing a veterinary clinic involves a lot of juggling.

Whether you’re a player in the payments space or a business processing credit cards, you’ve heard of Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance.
