Be warry of Merchant account salesman. They make their money off commission so their goal is to sell you as much as possible. I've seen new businesses stuck with over $600 in a deluxe credit card terminal equipment, high monthly fees and a three year contract. They often don't realize they can buy compatable equipment on Ebay for around $100 or they can buy a cheaper version equipment. I've even had them tack on services I didn't request. Also read the agreement with them closely. I had one sell me a one year contract them claim is was a three year contract when I tried to cancel after a year. I was fortunate I read the contract and he didn't.HiJust the other day we had a credit card processing company salesman at our office. We currently take cards over the phone and asked him if they do e commerce applications. He tells me they offer authorize.net & I need software at a cost of approx $ 500.00 US.Is this something I really need or does the perl module take care of it? Very new to all this but appreciate any suggestions, alternatives etc. Thanks Scott Martin _______________________________________________ interchange-users mailing list suppressed http://www.icdevgroup.org/mailman/listinfo/interchange-users
It doesn't surprise me he wants you to buy more than you need. All you need is a Merchant Account and the Authorizenet gateway service. You also don't have to buy the Authorizenet service from your Merchant account salesman. If you have an existing merchant account you can contact Authorizenet directly and they'll get you set up very quickly, normal a day.
