Hello everyone,

We have been looking for the best Authorize.net signup deal we can find and need help! It seems there are many resellers that charge various amounts for the signup fee and monthly service. We have found one provider that would even waive the setup fee but monthly charges were too high (Wells Fargo).

We'd like to compile a good resource right here for Authorize.net signup deals and need your help.

The following would help or a good information link would suffice.

Signup Fee:
Per transaction:
Monthly Gateway Fee:
Monthly Minimum:
backcharge Fee:
Any other Fees:
Total Cost a month if NO transactions:

Thanks ..

Yes, we have a Payflow link account.

Last Christmas they were so busy with transactions their Control Panel was pretty much not useable during heavy use times every day for December and Payflow Link transactions were timing out too. We processed all transactions by hand to capture all sales doing away with the link and using the crippled control panel.

Ya don't want to know the words we used. :-)

Complaints to support did no good, they knew they had a problem and were working on it. We are still with them right now for our other business, they have changed to Verisign from Signio, so maybe there will be better response from the network this Christmas? We sure hope so!

For these reasons (still sour) and better linking functions, we need Authorize.net.

The fees on the page you showed look respectable and were looking seriously at their site right now.

Thanks for the tip!
