Credit card gateway question

[SimpleDomaining]

Not sure, if this is right place to ask this but hope somebody can help me. I am making store on one of my web sites. And whatever gateway i am looking for this store is a little bit expencive for my pocket. But i have in real not online store credit card mashine working. The question is can i use by some way this same credit cards machine gateway to process online orders and if yes, than how can i do that, for it wil be simple for customer will be able to make an order and to buy it? I found a software/shopping card Oscomerce which has module "Credit card", and i am not sure if i can use it with my credit card machine. Thank you.

There is a couple free credit card gateways like Charge.com

But my best beat would be to go to webhostingtalk.com and go under billing you can find all the info you need..

I'm not really sure, but www.2checkout.com seems very popular (low setup fee), but I don't think it's a "real" merchant account.

it isnt. On the credit card statement, it shows up as 2checkout, and not your business

I would recommend something more like an authorize.net or one of their resellers. Seems to be popular with good (low) rates.

let me know what you go with...

You CANNOT use a regular merchant account for online purchases. You MUST get a separate on-line merchant account (or have your existing merchant account enabled for on-line transactions).

For any shopping cart you use - you will probably have to set up your own Merchant Account.

I have integrated both Authorize.net and Verisign's Payflow.

Authorize.net is a little more cumbersome to integrate.

Although I normally do not like Verisign, I have to admit, I found that their Payflow system was pretty easy to install. If you rebuild PHP to have the Payflow extensions integrated right in PHP, the interaction with the Verisign servers is a piece of cake.


Both merchants do a decent job as far as interaction go. I am not sure of the discount rates of either company.
