So I have been using google check out and paypal to sell my product and its time for an upgrade to a real on-site cart and payment gateway. Except there are so many options for gateways to choose from. Can someone recommend some that are good or a site that has reviews or comparisons? thanks I should also mention a sales volume of 500 monthly, revenues 5-15k
http://www.merchant-account-services.org/article/payment-gateways-reviewed Here's a really good article reviewing several of the more popular payment gateways. Personally, I recommend Authorize.net or Network Merchants (Not reviewed in the article) using an API integration method.
Innovative Gateway works with most major carts, and has reasonable fee structure. Been using them for years with much success. http://www.innovativegateway.com Green rep appreciated if this was helpful to you.
Yes go with 2co.com and once you have grown your business you can switch to another "Real" merchant account provider.
Check the price structure with some of payment processors to get insure about their merchant Account fees for account set up, transaction fees and other fees before you make a final decision.
IMHO considering the sales volume you are expecting you should get a reliable processors rather than trust on new processors, Check these processors those who are trusted and popular; 2checkout worldpay chronopay moneybookers protx authorize.net
