[ic] Advice please on whether Interchange is the right path

I am actually using Ibill as a processor because they handle many services
for us besides processing my current shopping cart sales, and since I am a
big client they are looking into customizing Interchange for me. But first I
need to demo it and see if I like it. If they do, I'm sure they would offer
the customization to other potential clients. I can let you all know if that
happens. In fact, if there is interest, I can pass it along and they might
get excited and do it regardless of me.

A common misconception about ibill is that they don't offer gateway
processing if you have your own merchant account-- they do, and they're very
reliable.

I actually think highly of them, it just so happens that I hate my latest
shopping cart and I'm looking for a new one. But as long as I was getting a
new shopping cart, I was thinking of trying verisign since ibill won't be
accepting debit cards and online checks for tangible items for at least a
couple of months.

Implementing may not have been the best term to use.  What I mean is that we
have looking into several processors and have tenatively selected Verisign
as
the one we are going to use.  Mainly because they can scale larger than
others
we have been checking.  We are still digging out all the details and
building a
plan.  We are trying to answer the question you ask and determine what
programming will have to be done, if any.  This is why I stated as in our
research and by their web site.  PayFlow Link and PayFlow Pro are capable of
all
the listed transactions.  If Interchange is capable of feeding the necessary
info without modification I do not know yet.

One thing I know for sure, we will do a lot research and testing before
using
the service.  We used LinkPoint through CardServices International before.
I
liked LinkPoint software, but we had problems with CardServices.  We will
not
repeat the mistakes made.
