The merchant acct. is what will make direct deposits into your corporate account every 24 hrs. Getting this account is a lot of paperwork....but worth it.
#2 Once you have this account...you are now ready to get a processor.....choose a processor that meets all foreseeable needs....ie: rebilling...trials w/ rebilling......you want it to be customizeble..for porn...for product...or whatever.
#3 you want your processor to easily integrate with affiliate programs. dont cut corners here....anyone can have an affiliate program.....but the cut and paste ones suck. pay some cash for a real program...dont settle for ipece o shit hit counters...we all want referring url's and detailed stats so dont shoot yourself in the foot with these pre-made programs.
the merchant acct takes 3 or 4% of trans. the terminal takes like 30 cents a trans plus a monthly fee...mine is under 10 dollars a month.
that simple...and please flame me for pointing out the obvious....I love abuse
