Thanks for the info Jason.
I've looked at Authorize.Net again. Have had it integrated as part of
our storefront software for some time. However, I've not dealt with
them directly. The user experience is a big thing for me. So I'm
wanting to make certain that the end-user's ability to manage their
account/charges/voids, etc., is powerful and easy.
How would you rate Authorize.net on these issues?

PS - I thought about moving this discussion.. But it seems relevant to
all of us here. Mike will tell us otherwise, I'm sure, if I'm wrong. ;)

| Is LinkPoint by Card Service International? I see their
| little logo on
| the page when I found linkPoint If so - don't let their promise of
| service and talk of them being one of the largest sway you.
|
| I have a list of clients that are incredibly unhappy. Although fairly
| simple- roadblocks left and right. Customer Service departments are
| horrendous. And to top it off - being a business man - reseller fees
| happen to be a plus - Well they managed to scam me out of
| about $1800 in
| client referrals.
|
| So - horrible service, what I think as a non impressive
| product. beware.
|
| Also - I had my own companies card processing go through them. They
| conveintly had me lease the software - for $3500 for 3 years.. then
| proceed to tell me that fairmarket was $2800 on the software
| for buyout
| - or I had to pay a cancellation fee - of about $400 - all
| very gray in
| the contracts.
|
| I tried to convert a Link Point account to an upgraded version - and
| after 6 months of trying to get my account changed - I
| finally gave up.
| I mean - I was trying to UPGRADE ....
|
| On trying to cancel the service - they also were kind enough not
| releasing my account for an additional 6 months - because I
| did not send
| the proper formated letter - When resolving it -they so happened to
| delay it for enough weeks - where I missed this ridicoulous
| cancellation
| date ( one of those- on the 3rd monday of the 16 month of this year
| prior to notifying us by this date" type date")
|
| All in all - 2 years of bad service! *grin
|
| I have used authorize.net on 4 clients - affordable -
| coldfusion really
| easy to integrate with. Worth checking out.
| Good Luck,
| jay miller
