I'm starting eCommerce site...

[Generalissimo]

I'm starting my first ecommerce site soon, I've started buying the products, I've got myself OSCommerce. What I need first is a recommendation for a credit card processor, who do you use, (Chris, seen as though you use OSCommerce a recommendation from you would be really appreciated).?

Do you have an internet merchant number from your bank (or can you get one). There's a company my boss uses for credit card payments, that has nice low(ish) rates - and you can take debit cards, too, I think.

If you're interested, I'll ask him.

I use authorize.net, make sure you install the authorize.net consolidated contribution though.

As for a provider... I use global payments, but they might be US only. Authorize.net has a whole list of providers on their site though.

There was a thread no so long ago about card processing options and all that stuff.

[moonshield]

cool... what are you going to sell?

[Generalissimo]

Original MILITARIA and related products.

[moonshield]

awesome, that is a great idea.

[MarkB]

Do you mean old Army stuff? Nice niche.

[Generalissimo]

From militaries from around the world, plus stuff from the CCCP, etc. Anything of interest to military/history collectors...

Oscommerce is a good choice. whatever you do, don't go with HSBC for payment processing.. Complete nightmare!

Yes I had bad experience with HSBC too...
