Call me biased, but I think the LinkPoint module is excellent.

First, you have to have a Merchant Account set up. Have you done that? If not see this page: http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...es&pages_id=30

Our company has been doing business online for 10 years, but this is our first stab at a shopping cart application. With Zen Cart is it necessary to sign up with a new merchant interface like LinkPoint or can we continue to process our orders with our current credit card provider using our old hand-punched Tranz 330 machine?

you can continue to manually punch every order,
you will use the cc module thats in admin -> modules -> payment

and remember to put your email address in

this will display 4 numbers and the exp date,
then will email you the remaining 4 numbers and the cvv

Here's some information on what Merlin's talking about:

Alternatively...
Since you already have a merchant account, you could:
- talk to your merchant service and ask about the costs for upgrading your service to allow online processing
- find out from them which "gateways" they support
... and check out whether Zen Cart supports those gateways
..... and then decide if maybe it's worth the additional fees to have real-time processing done for you.

NOTE: Regardless which route you choose, you DO need to get SSL on your site to protect customer and CC information.
