Curious as to whether anyone has experience with cdgcommerce, e-onlinedata.com, charge.com, or chargem.com.

Also, whether there are any direct authorize.net gateway-only resellers around FQ?

Thx.

...direct authorize.net gateway-only resellers...
Do you mean FQ resellers or Anet resellers? Anet resellers are usually your merchant account provider/bank. Anet is pretty much only available as part of a "bundled" package due to the backend processing compatibiity requirements.

Any kind of reseller that provides an Anet gateway w/o the need to also get a Merchant account. There are at least a few out there (e.g., cdgcommerce), and apparently Anet will also provide the service directly.

Although I'd also be interested in hearing about anyone's experience as an Anet associate reseller. Associate resellers can provide the Anet gateway-only service at a substantial discount on the setup fee, or their IPS service which combines the gateway with a Wells Fargo account.

I used to be an Anet reseller. They do have a good reseller program since they are one of the largest Internet gateways.

Doesn't exist. All Anet accounts will be coupled with a merchant account.

Cdgcommerce is a merchant account provider.

... and apparently Anet will also provide the service directly.
Yes, but only along with a merchant account from one of their merchant bank partners.

I'm pretty sure the way their associate program works is that the accounts are combined with one of their partner banks. Any Anet reseller can provide the account with a substantial discount fee...as with all things bank related, everything (including setup fees) are negotiable.

Rich - I respect your expertise, but I have now been quoted by both Anet and CDGcommerce a gateway-only price without a merchant account.
