Third Party C.C Processing

[pirategnome]

I'm sure this has been asked a million times. (Yes I did try searching for it). It seems to me that Paypal is the only third party that will accept credit cards for free, and I don't really want to go with Paypal. I looked here http://www.oscommerce.com/about/gateways and they all seem to have some sort of fee. Does anyone have any reccomendations of free Third Party C.C Processing companies? I wouldn'nt mind a transaction fee but I really dont want to pay monthly fees.

There are none - not even PayPal. PayPal is one of the cheapest, though, at 2.9% + 0.35.

Whoever processes your transaction has to pay a fee to the credit card networks - they're not going to absorb that.

There are some that don't charge a monthly fee but charge higher transaction fees. Go visit the web sites of the various transaction gateways listed at http://www.oscommerce.com/solutions
