The Authorize.net Payment Gateway is supposed to help a online business accept credit card payments...?

Based on (Authorize.net)'s add, If you were an online merchant, and looking for a company to process your credit cards and electronic payments, what would be one of the first questions that you would ask a company such as this one???

A quick FYI, Authorize.Net is not a payment processor. They are just a gateway which means they just act like a credit card terminal in a store. The real questions you will have will be for the processor who actually processes your payments for you.

Here's a good list to start with:

1) Am I locked into a contract?
2) Is there a monthly minimum fee?
3) Is the equipment/software you are selling proprietary?
4) How long does it take to get my funds?
5) My average sale is $xx.xx. How much would I pay with you?
6) What will my fees be if I don鈥檛 do AVS?
7) Is this an introductory rate? Can my rates change?
8) What makes you different then the other guy?

Always do a comparison of providers as there are many different ways to say the same thing. I linked to a comparison worksheet that should help you out with this.
