Credit Card Processing Without a Merchant Account
Having your own merchant account is a very valuable commodity to have in your Internet business, but in some cases you will want to use a third party processor to give you better real-time processing, a secondary processor for online orders, or for those just starting out that don't want to commit to the long term fees of a merchant account.
Here are a few of the popular credit card processors:
