All other merchants eligible to complete an SAQ but excluded from the other types

SAQ D for merchants applies to all merchants that do not meet the criteria for another SAQ.

Merchants fall into one of four levels based on their annual transaction volume per card brand.

Note that this concerns the number of transactions, not turnover. In detail:

Level 1 — More than 6 million transactions per year

Level 2 — Between 1 and 6 million transactions per year

Level 3 — Between 20,000 and 1 million transactions per year

Level 4 — Fewer than 20,000 transactions per year. IMPORTANT:

If you fall under Level 1, you will need a QSA (Qualified Security Assessor) for your certification.
