I would strongly suggest opting for the merchant account.

Try www.2checkout.com - many hostings use them.

[i am a lurker]

why the fuck would you want to give up 5% when it only takes 150$ or less to set up a merchant account for hosting co's letting you process at 2%??

I concur.. Get a merchant account.

Anything less is just plain irresponsible as a host.


I do question it being only $150, I would say budgeting $500 for it should be more in-line with the real world. Discount rates for card-not-present (but with valid AVS and CVV) range anywhere from 2.0-3.8% or so for non-risk transactions (usually depending on your volume and business and/or personal credit if you need to sign a personal guarantee).

A starting merchant w/ a low volume probably will see about 3%'ish unfortunately these days.
