Quote:A bungled upgrade at UK payment processing firm Protx left thousands of online merchants unable to take payments on Wednesday. full article: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/08/01/protx_outage/ [/quote] It's unfair to see thousands of online merchants were unable to take payments. I am currently researching merchant accounts for my new site but I would not want to run into a problem like this. Any suggestions? |

Re: Upgrade Gone Wrong: UK Payment Processor Protx Crashes
I'd suggest MerchantPlus w/Authorize.net gateway over FirstData/CardServices w/Linkpoint gateway because a) it's cheaper (lower monthly fees, lower per transaction costs), b) Authorize.net is compatible with more software packages than Linkpoint, and c) CardServices has been known to hit people with extra fees after they've been a member for awhile (it's happened to more than one merchant here). If you're a larger merchant you also might want to consider Cybersource.
