Hello there,

Does anybody knows authorize.net resellers who accept foreign ( I'm from Holland ) customers ?
I know planetpayment.com , but I'm looking for alternatives.

Thanks :)

I think they're about the only one. authorize.net themselves only accept US businesses. PlanetPayment is essentially their international version (of sorts). We have a PP merchant account but don't recommend them. Very poor support - I usually end up calling authorize.net directly when there's an issue. It's been running for well over a year and hardly ever been used. We're still entrusting our billing to paysystems - even with the restrictions that imposes.

However it seem, paysystems have their own full merchant system (check their site). Calling them monday about it to get the good oil on it. :)

What you can do if you want to use AuthorizeNet its incorportate your company in the US, get a USA bank bussines account, a Merchant account from Wells Fargo, and then you can use AuthorizeNet Gateway :)

I have been thinking about that. Can you direct me to some sites where I can find more information about incorperating in the US ?

Thanks ! :)

I used apelles.com
If you're interested in a merchant account, ask them to get it through Wells Fargo, they did to me through CSI and they are a pain in the ass!, don't even think in use CSI merchant accounts, its the worst service that I ever used in my life.

Ohh, thanks, Its for everyone!

But i dont think a bank account will be just enough to signup with companies like echo-inc ??
And to incorporate in USA, it costs $400.
Any other cheap solution ?

to use Echo-Inc you have to live or being stablished in USA, its not enought to being incorporate.

AuthorizeNet :)
Incorporate in USA, get a EIN, a Merchant account, and then you can get AuthorizeNet.

Sorry for confusion.
I can only afford to get a US bank account. Do you know any service which is cheap and require only a US bank account, not a US residence.

some thing like

max of $100 setup
no monthly
no statement or $10 / month
$15 - $20 / month for gateway
1.75-2.75 + 0.10-1.40 transaction fee
and all other stuff free
