It depends on what you value more, simplicity or the lowest cost. As a dropshipper, you aren’t going to be shipping anything (One of the advantages of PP is their multi-order shipping interface), so I would probably advise that you go with Authorize.net because it is cheaper.

You should do your own research of course, but I’ve found Merchant Plus to be both economical and easy to setup. I also have a coupon code you can use to save 20% off the monthly fee

coupon code: MYWIFEQUIT

Have you ever looked at Innovative Merchant Solutions by Intuit? What are your thoughts on it?

Thanks

Shopsite was not a considered in my ebook because they charge both a license and a maintenance fee. The main focus of the book was on free open source shopping carts, shopping carts that require no license fees or transaction fees.

In terms of open source shopping carts, I recommend OSCMax or ZenCart for a light weight solution and Magento if you need a fully featured cart. Unfortunately, I’ve never evaluated BluePay but after looking at their website for the last 10 minutes, I was frustrated that I couldn’t locate their transaction fees. Why did you choose BluePay in particular?

Sincerely,
Steve

In perusing your e-book entitled, ‘Create a Profitable Online Store in 5 Easy Steps’, I see where you referred to BlueHost (which just so happens to be my current ISP) and as such I was somewhat surprised in that you made no mention of ShopSite w/regard to shopping carts nor BluePay w/regard to credit card processing. Are you by chance familiar with either of these services? Reason for my asking is because, after thoroughly researching the subject matter, I intend on using BluePay for my credit card processing and am leaning toward using ShopSite for my shopping cart. Do you by chance have any thoughts or opinions regarding ShopSite vs. Zen Cart? Thank you ahead of time.
