Need help understanding Authorize.Net
Hi friends,
This my my first post so hello everybody!
I'm moving away from Paypal due to some arbitrary and non-professional behavior from their end...but this is not the point of my post.
I have an startup online store, not a high sales volume yet, but as every new entrepreneur I hoping to grow sooner than later. I need a solution to process credit cards from my shopping cart software(Voilusion) but different than Paypal.
I haven't find any other decent 3rd party processor that I can trust
Q: ...do you guys know about any?
In the other hand, I'm researching about an Authorize.Net merchant account but I can't fully understand how many parts are involved in this.
I see in the Authorize.Net website they promote finding a "reseller"...I found a First Data website offering MUCH better "A.Net" prices than the "A.Net" site but the reviews about them(First Data) are just OUTRAGEOUS.
Q: Is it better to find a reseller of Authorize.Net account? Don't they sell by themselves?
Q: Do you guys know any good "A.Net" reseller?
Q: What do I need in order to fully implement an Autorize.Net credit card processing from my shopping cart software?
I hope is not too much for my first post...
Thanks in Advance!
