Hello there...

I work for a web development firm that is developing a shopping cart and a form of "subscription sites" for its users that allows them to have their own site/cart and sell things online.

I've done a lot of research, as well as searching through these forums, and while I'm familiar with the process, I'm having a very hard time finding what I need, especially with all of the junk-placeholder sites that are flooding google's top results ;-)

What I'm looking for, ideally, is a company that both provides merchant accounts AND a payment gateway for a reasonable price that we can consistently recommend to our clients. Obviously, we're always going to have to make them use the same payment gateway, since we need some control over that and we're going to customize our shopping cart software for that purpose. However, we'd like to find a provider that also signs people up for merchant accounts, and in an even more ideal world, gives us some sort of referral commission for it, too.

Can anyone suggest specific companies via private message or what have you? (From what I see on this forum as a new guy here, it seems naming specific companies in public is generally frowned upon)...

Thanks a ton...

Well the payment gateway that I'm most familiar with (AuthorizeNet) won't let you buy directly from them. You can only get set up through a merchant provider that acts as a authorized reseller. You can find a list of them on authorizeNet's website. It is a one-stop process when dealing with the merchant provider, however, so it's the same thing.

The pricing among the resellers/merchant providers vary, and yes some of them will give you a referral commission. Just have to shop it. :)

Twiggy,
From what I am reading from your post, you want one of two companies, ccbill or ibill. You should be able to find either immediately from a search.
