Ok, I've never done an e-commerce site before. I'm helping a friend setup something quick. I've registered with elitehost to be able to use their open-source e-commerce packages with either zen-cart or magento.

As far as a payment gateway goes, I'm a bit stuck. What is the best to use. Elitehost recommended payfast but I don't like the idea that they take 5% on credit card purchases and 2% on EFT etc... It makes it difficult to adjust pricing this way. Is there something better and easy to setup that has straight monthly costs or similar.

try these guys: http://www.paygate.co.za/

Thanks, still waiting for how the fees work but through them I found another option: www.setcom.co.za They seem good. R199 per month and a standard transaction fee of R1.50 per transaction.

Paygate has their price list downloadable from the site.

I have used them before and have had no complaints from the customer.

They are also innovative, they have come up with a system for online purchases using debit cards, for example.
