Currently I am expecting very low sales, probably around 500$ per year through domain reselling and some of the hosting. But still i would like to accept payments through my main site.

I researched little bit by going through WHT and was thinking either payQuake and 2co.com. leaning toward payQuake. What are your suggestions? Any other providers? Thanks,

Take a look at cdgcommerce.com Using their gateway you can cut your cost.

Their monthly merchant fee is $10, where as payQuake's $9(which includes the transaction costs)

So if i understand correctly:

CdgCommerce: have to pay 10$ plus any transaction fee
payQuake: either min $9, or if transaction fee is over 9$, then just transaction fee

In this scenario payQuake looks better for me unless I miss something.

Edit: Also I dont see any difference in rates with payQuake for Qualified and non qualified purchases. Non qualified purchases, payQuake rates are much better.

We have been using 2CO for over 6 years. They are no monthly fees. The also have a quick fraud screening department.

I am also considering 2co.com, but their rates are very high.

2CO applies a 5.5% commission on each transaction, plus a $0.45 charge per transaction; 40$ one time setup fee.

I have to pay 18$ per year for static IP Address whichever service i take.

They charge 30$ per month for pro account. Customer needs paypal account for their standard account, which i try to avoid.

Try CDG Commerce, those guys are good. It also works well with WHMCS.

All the best,

you can go with paypal if you want to pay for the pro. I would suggest authorize.net.

2Checkout may seem like they have a higher fee, but when you factor in all that they do for you, you will see that it is actually very cost effective.

Fraud detection 24hr customer care, transactions in multiple currencies, no chargeback fees if the chargeback is due to fraud, PCI compliance, No monthly fee, easy plug-n-play cart and much more. It is a very easy way to sell your product on the world market.

If you have any questions regarding 2Checkout, I would be very happy to answer them for you.
