Rlynch- are you looking for open source so that you can customize the code for a specialized integration or are you looking for a inexpensive solution?

The reason I ask is that many, many solutions have a certain percentage of the code available for customization. I am working on a product comparison chart. One thing that became apparent to me in its creation is that there was a direct and inverse relationship between support costs and the amount of code available.

There is no such thing as a free lunch. Someone, somewhere paid for it. If you’re not sure who paid for it, it was probably you. ;)

If all you need the code for is integration, many options will meet your need. Freeside, BillMax, NTpaymaster offer access to the code. Others offer the right to remove copyright protection.

Hope this helps

Looks like he didn't last long here for some reason or another :D (- in his subtitle usually means he was banned?).
