I like because you get the gateway code with the component... it's very warm and fuzzy to me because I like to see what's going on, and usually need to tweak things out a bit to make them to my liking.

Looks great Link, but I already have my shopping cart
built . . . . all I need is a Gateway to handle the
credit card payments when a user clicks "Place Order".
Verisign is a well known company and it might make a customer feel more secure (and buy something) if they see that name.
I don't know if they are more expensive than other Gateways. I'll have to do more investigating.

I've used payflow. It's pretty easy - they have a .NET dll you can download and call with fairly intuitive syntax. Some of the hosts that have it pre-installed on their servers might just have the pre-.NET version - not to worry, there are some free .NET wrapper classes out there to adapt it.
BTW, please do not store credit cards - just use it for the transaction and be done with it. Not that you indicated anything otherwise, but it has to be said. my 2¢.

thanks Dragon . . .
I was planning on giving the customer the option of storing their credit card information in the database. I'm using Encryption to store the credit card (and passwords too).
This is a nice option to offer if the customer comes back and wants a fast (one-click) checkout.
Is Verisign more expensive than other Gateways? Or are all Gateways pretty much in the same price range.

If it's price your worried about, PayPal is pretty cheap and is very easy to integrate into your program. They have a checkout component that you can customize to make it fit into your site.
The only problem is, (if it is a problem), some programmers say it makes your site look cheap. I've never used it though -- just looked into it.

Using the Verisign gateway won't make your payment more secure. It's the secure certificate strength that handles that.
You can buy your secure certificate from Verisign and put their seal on your site, though. And yes, people do feel better when they see that name. It has high brand awareness.
The site I referenced offers the whole kit and caboodle for $150. Personally, I had already created my own shopping cart, too. So all I use from their component is the gateway code. I just ripped it out and integrated it into my code using Authorize.NET as the processing method. I found $150 to be on the low end of gateway components, especially of those that offered the fully managed C# source code along with it.
