Hi,

I live in Canada. I want to accept credit card payments online.
I've made a research on all forums here and here is what I've found so far:

http://www.quicken.ca/creditcard.php#signup
http://www.beanstream.com/website/index.html
http://www.internetsecure.com
http://psigate.com
http://2checkout.com

The problem is that the setup fees and charges of these companies are much higher than the companies who operates only with US clients like http://echo-inc.com (they offer 5 chargebacks free and 5 USD for each over 5).

I can't explain why the prices are so different?
Does somebody know better deal for Canadian companies?

Thanks,
Peter

most likley because of our weak Canadian dollar, everything is expensive here in Canada;)

Another one to consider is RevEcom ( www.revecom.com ). Their rates are 3.9% + $1 per transaction.

If I resell 5 dollar hosting plans using revecom I'm going to loose money :-)
