PCI SSC provides merchant resources for protecting payment data. Outsourcing processing changes the responsibilities to evaluate; it is not a reason to skip scoping. Privacy requires a separate assessment.
Map checkout, payment providers, analytics and advertising flows. Ask the payment provider or acquiring bank what validation applies to your implementation. Then test privacy separately, including what happens when a customer opts out or requests deletion.
