I know we have plenty of entrepreneurs on here. We are looking to set up a CC merchant account, so we can take credit card orders. Can anyone recommend the company they use? Or, does anyone work for a company that supplies that service? Thanks much!

your web hosting provider should be able to offer you a solution without much external fees (if you go through a service outside of them you lose out and generally have to pass this cost onto the consumer)

give them a call - if they don't provide this its time to switch to a better webhosting provider - i recommend bluehost

Paypal or Google has a new one comming out. Paypal plays by different rules than other merchants, they fall outside of certain banking regulations.. If you don't plan on doing a lot of business, stick with paypal...

most merchants are rip offs... Shop around, you can always get fees and such waived.

Yeah, I need a *real* merchant services account. Not just web-based.
