Best Merchant Gateway for New Seller?

Hi,

I'm currently setting up a store. Right now I am trying to get my payment modules set up. I have PayPal up and running without any problem, but I'd like to offer real time credit card processing.

Any recommendations for merchant gateway providers? I'm looking for low fees, good quality...

If I don't use an authorize.net merchant gateway do I have to install a new module?

Should I stick with a gateway that works with authorize.net? i.e. just pick one from http://authorize.net/solutions/merchantsolutions/resellerdirectory/

As you can probably tell this is my first time doing this so any advice/general tips would be more than welcome.

Thanks,

Nate

If you don't use one of the built-in modules, you'll have to find one to install. There are many modules for various versions of Zen Cart for various alternate payment solution providers.

Call me partial, but Zen Cart has one on our Recommended Services page, here:
