Which Merchant Service?

[mike177]

Hello,
We are in the process of setting up an online business from scratch. The primary product is nearing its development (zencart is the heart of the site, thank you very much) and we are turning our attention to the marketing/banking, etc phase. Now, I know that the below merchant services are the primary ones for zencart and we were planning on using LinkPoint. But, then I got to thinking (always a dangerous thing). Why not use a normal bank's merchant service platform and consolidate the number of vendors we are using????

Are there any banking merchant service platforms that easily integrate with zencart? Especially, does anyone know if SVB, Comerica, Bridge Bank, Square 1 play nice with Zen? If no, I would be happy with Wacovia, WaMu, Chase, or some other small business friendly bank with a branch in Dallas that will integrate smoothly with Zencart.


All the Usual Suspects :
* 2Checkout
* BluePay
* InternetSecure
* Linkpoint/YourPay
* viaKLIX

Am I missing something... is there a reason to stick with the Usual Suspects if some bank can do the same for the same or less money?

Your thoughts and comments are very much appreciated.

Cheers,
Mike

Totally depends on what gateway the bank uses; If we have a module already made and working; or if you have to build one ... Watch out for those hidden fees in most local banks.
