I recently used FeeFighters and they have a really awesome setup to help you compare and find merchant processors and gateways. It's pretty neat because the merchant processors "bid" based on your preferences and all of their pricing is transparent and easy to understand.
As for gateway, I am going with Authorize.net for my project. PyPI has an authorize package for API integration and my developer found a django app at: https://github.com/zen4ever/django-authorizenet If interested in FeeFighters, please consider using my referral link. https://feefighters.com/referral/d61fce3c6c274b38 :-) Malcolm On Mar 8, 6:43 pm, David Zhou <da...@nodnod.net> wrote: > I use Braintree, and it's been great. > > -- dz > > On Tue, Mar 8, 2011 at 4:40 PM, CLIFFORD ILKAY > > <clifford_il...@dinamis.com> wrote: > > On 03/08/2011 09:59 AM, Bill Freeman wrote: > > >> And I can't resist recommending solutions that don't require your to touch > >> the credit card number.
