Great news but what about PROTX (the most affordable gateway for small businesses in the UK). I’ve got a couple of clients that would sign up to Shopify if PROTX was available.
Protx is on the todo list. DataCash was contributed to ActiveMerchant, so we didn’t have to actually do any work to support it. I hope to get Protx support into Shopify in near future.
I was looking for some information about credit card processing on the net. But I was getting information in bits and pieces. Then I found a directory listing of www.merchant-accounts.com and found very useful information at one place. If you are looking for any information of credit card processing then you can read the e-book directly at http://www.merchant-accounts.com/e-book.pdf
