Their system is cURL based. fabulously reliable, and we would have used it for our own company except that it supports only CAN and USD. The second is WorldPay, a subsidiary of The Royal Bank of Scotland. Supports a raft of credit cards and just about any currency you care for. Downside? Your customers are taken to a WorldPay site - which you can sort of decorate like your own - and then are sent back to your site. They also rely on *timing* for completion of transactions. Sort of lousy. Nevertheless, we will see. General reflection? All these companies seem to want your business, but then are hellaciously slow in providing basic information, responding to questions, etc. Good luck - you will need it in some measure.
