RE: Merchant Account Suggestions
Nowadays Verisign requires that you sign up for services they still cheekily call "optional" with PFPro. The fraud protection stuff. Takes their minimum monthly fee to about US$98 (!). My client reported this back to me recently and I freaked. He was a Bank of America customer so I used their service, which costs about US$40 monthly. Wish I'd known about the Terrapayments stuff at that time. Would have saved me a lot of the PITA that was integrating the quirky BofA system. Although that 6-month rolling reserve they require (and hold for 6 months) probably would have killed the deal. Bummer, that.

RE: Merchant Account Suggestions
I'd recommend Authorize.net. I've integrated Authorize.net, SkipJack, and Verisign. Verisign is good, but their CF tag doesn't work, so I had to use COM to integrate it into my shopping cart. SkipJack is also good, but more restrictive than AuthNet. Authorize.net allows the ability to pay by ECHECK if you so choose, and integration is fairly simple (unless you have a Wells Fargo SecureSource account - then it gets slightly more complex). I think if I was a store owner I'd tend toward whichever is the cheapest between these three options, but as a developer I'd tend toward SkipJack or AuthNet. -Original Message- From: Ricky Fritzsching [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 17, 2003 7:30 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Merchant Account Suggestions I have a small business that I am doing an e-commerce application for and they are wanting to setup a merchant/gateway account for the website.

RE: Merchant Account Suggestions
Whatever you do, do not use psigate for any merchant account processing. They have terrible support, uptime, and customer service. I learned this the hard way. Do not pick psigate.com!

RE: Merchant Account Suggestions
I've had very good success with VeriSign's PayFlow pro. I've had consistently fast response times and their servers haven't gone down once since I've been using them. If you want to do all the processing "on-site" (opposed to redirecting to another site) then they are a great way to go. I wouldn't use their SSL certs, or anything else from them, though.

Here are some quick notes on us: - We currently process in excess of 1 Billion dollars a year - We do CCs and checks - We're International, supporting a wide array of currencies - One of the fastest payment gateways on the planet - We specialize in high risk transactions (i.e. extensive fraud prevention) - We are not a reseller, but we do offer reseller programs - Easy CF, PHP, Java, Com integration - Macromedia Partner - No setup fees if you go thru me - I do not earn any commission; I just believe we offer great service. :) I'm done!
