I have done research into getting a merchant account to enable online payment processing. I currently use PayPal [pay on their site] for all forms of online payment-- and carry around a book of receipt vouchers for those who wish to pay with cash or check. I offer services like web hosting, business directory listings, custom software and web development.
I researched setting up the merchant account with my business bank, Costco and PayPal. Here is what I found:
| Business Bank | Costco | PayPal | |
| Monthly Fee | $5.00 | $5.00 | $19.95-59.95 |
| Per Transaction Fee | 3%+$.30 | 1.99%+$.27 | 1.9% - 2.9% + $0.30 |
| Special Considerations | None | Setup & monthly fees waived with Executive Membership $100 per year | Most cases free setup except Payflow Gateway |
Links providing more information about Costco's service and PayPal's [note: you have to be logged into your PayPal account to review the link provided].
Snapshot offering a bit more information about PayPal's integrated online payment services.
I want to integrate onsite payment features for Hosting-Q and the WiredPages Business Directory-- rather than using PayPal buttons, however right now, I cannot justify the fees.

Over the weekend, I had the opportunity to create a new MySQL database and build a servlet JDBC interface to manage the data. What I like about the solution I came up with for this task? The execution time in which the servlet accesses and updates the data. It is fast.
The database schema is very simple, comprised of one table and 3 fields. Each day, new data is added to the table via the JDBC servlet which also "SELECTs" the data for output.
What I really want to emphasize here? Data access speed. In this case, this was achieved because of the simple database layout and the Java JDBC servlet accessing the data.
Would love to come up with a similar solution for your needs. Contact.
