I have made a search on this forum but could not see a thread directly related to this issue.

What do you think about Authorize.net resellers?
Why have you chosen them and not another company?

Thanks! ;)

Hey

Authorize.net is the payment gateway, I believe to use them you will need a merchant account with one of their partnering financial institutions. I may be wrong as we use PlanetPayment, the international version of authorize.net and they have been pretty good. The plus with the gateway itself is that you won't have too much trouble finding software to use with it.

The rates you get will vary on the merchant account you get, but PP's aren't too bad.

Hope that helps :)

JBS, you are correct - I use the Authorize.net virtual terminal.

Firstly, this was setup through my bank, so I have the ability to process cards over all the options (i.e. mag swipeing, etc)

You need to get approved by each merchant - and its normally a lot easier to get approved if your financial institution is backing you up. :D
