Credit Cards

We have been asked frequently about which credit card processor we would recommend. We wanted a processor that was not constantly adding fees and so large as to not be responsive. We read postive comments overall about CDG commerce on email lists and forums, and they don't charge monthly fees for the Quantum Gateway than can emulate authorize.net interface, so .... We applied back in the spring of 2012 and were approved with CDG commerce to use Quantum Gateway to process credit cards over the Internet (and dropped 1st Bankcard to save significantly). Since we edited a module to work with their software and drupal commerce, we also filled out the documentation to be a partner. If you apply for a merchant service with CDG commerce, please use our referral account, 2655. Not using the referral link won't save any fees, but using the link will help us. These referrals and other donations help offset our open source support, thanks in advance.

p.s. We think you will find their rates very competitive and they have not 'money grabbed' like other services we have dealt with in the past. Their monthly report fee was $10. They did have an option for $15 for insurance and PCI testing also.

Payments Via Internet.
Just the $10/month for the report and no gateway fees if using the Quantum Gateway!

Quantum has an authorize.net emulator that is free, but if you don't want to use that emulator they have negotiated a low monthly price for using authorize.net: http://www.cdgcommerce.com/internet-services-authnet.php?R=2655

Payments Via Storefront

If you use a card reader and swipe, their rates are also good
