Do you mean "Where can you get a merchant account?" If so, there are a lot of companies that offer this service. Just do a search on this forum.

Merchant account or non-merchant account? It is pretty wide open without this info.

For no merchant account, try revecom.com. They seem to have the best prices out of all the third party processors.

What about a service, if you have a merchants account?

If you already have a merchant account, or need one, I suggest using charge.com.

I second the charge.com nomination. Great prices and good service!

If you don't require a merchant account, Instabill.com is a good choice.

I'd add a go-fer-it with Charge.com -- pretty good outfit.

Hey, this does look pretty cool! I am wondering, do I read correctly that your 10% fee is REFUNDED after 6 months minus charge-backs etc.?

I haven't had a chargeback in 4 years... while this is no guarantee this would be extremely cool. (Erm, that would be with my merchant account at my gift shop, which I do not want to tie into my webhosting. That would not look extraordinarily tactful)

Need to fiddle with it and see if this really works but I am in the process of switching to a new host (ultraspeedusa.com -> thanks to everyone here, thanks for all the great feedback, I have learned TONS in just a few days!) and am going to completely re-design my website. So this is the time to integrate a new system.

(Do not yet have any customers except my best friend, she was an easy sell so I must assume my best foot is not forward. And no I'm not going to tell you my addy b/c I'll be the first to tell you it's pretty p-poor! )

Cheers! Thanks for the info!

instantbill is expensive
they have a %10 discount rate which they will not refund.

they take another %10 in case there is a charge back which they do give back.
paypal is great, they take only %1.9 BUT
1) they do not accept all countries
2) they have a complicated sign-up process
3) they do not have recuring billing

How much does Charge.com cost monthly?

I am confused with their pricing table.

I saw lot of $$$ listed there, but I think I sees $49.90/mo in another part of the site.
