Payment Gateway Recommendations

Hey Experts,

I've been looking up some info on different payment gateways available for processing payments from your site. I'm posting this to get some input from those of you who currently run a payment processing gateway on your site, or have implemented one on someone elses site you've developed.

From actual experience what do you think is the best payment gateway to use, how much does it cost, does it require you to redirect and return, or does it have the ability to process straight from your server. PayPal is not an option! VeriSign seems very expensive, so perhaps something less than VeriSign and not as distracting as PayPal.

I'm really looking for actual hands on experience, if you post a link to where I can read about something, chances are I've already seen it and read it, I'm looking for something you've used and would recommend to your clients and others. (points for the best responses)

Thanks!

Have either of you used MIVA Payment / MIVA Merchant? MIVA also utilizes VeriSigns Payflow options in thier modules. Yes VeriSign does fall under PayPal now, but we didn't like the idea of even having PayPal on a payment processing page, a lot of people tend to shy away from paypal for different reasons. I looked at the PayPal side of things as a cheaper way of using the PayFlow from VeriSign. But opted not to use it.

One thing I've considered was the MIVA payment, have you guys had any expiences with that Payment Gateway? VeriSign's PayFlow Pro is actually very good and Ideal!! But it comes with a high price $249.00 setup, and $59.95/month. Not to mention hefty additional costs for added services.

Any opinions on MIVA payment?

I really appreciate both your feedback, just trying to get ideas of everything out there, before picking one to use.

Thanks a bunch!
