best payment gateway and merchant account

[TJ]

We are launching an on-line store and want a real time payment gateway/merchant account. Should we look for a merchant account that comes with a payment gateway or visa versa? The question really is do we need technical support once we go live from the merchant account or from the payment gateway. We looked into VeriSign and the PayFlow Link seems good, but it does not offer telephone technical support. Because of this fact shoud we not use that service?

If you are using ezimerchant for your online store and you want real time transactions then you must choose one of the payment gateways that ezimerchant supports (Netregistry, eway etc)

Once you have chosen a gatway they can help you obtain the necessary merchant account from your bank. Both eway and Netregistry offer phone support as far as im aware.

Hi TJ,

My name is Sudesh and I am from SecurePay/DirectOne Payment Gateway. We are a company that is listed as supported payment gateway on the ezimerchant web site.
Veri Sign is not on that list, and we offer 24x7 technical support too. Our pricing is more competitive than VeriSign and you can contact us on 1300 786 756 or email sales@directone.com.au

We can also help you with advise on your options with the banks and merchant facilities if you dont have an account already.


Looking forward to hearing from you.
