I'm looking for the absolutely cheapest, rock-bottom way of processing credit cards on the web, preferably without monthly charges (only per-transaction fees).
Based on what I've read from reasonably happy users, I was all set to sign up with authorize.net when I found the MCVE function in the PHP manual.
It sounds like a great way to bypass the gateway middleman and only pay the fees for the merchant account.
But there's somewhat scant documentation (apart from an actual step-by-step script, which, if it works is great) and virtually NO discussion of it on these fora or in a Google search.
So is this a dead end? I'm a bit uneasy committing my project to this technology if no one else out there is using it.
