I'm interested in using the Cheddar Gateway. Where can I find more information on the Cheddar Gateway (like pricing/fees) and how it compares to something like authorize.net? Thanks!

   Jeff I don't work at CG. But I had lots of the same questions before I decided to use CG

   Hmm, I think I might be confused about the whole gateway/merchant structure. When you go into the dashboard and go to the gateway section it talks about the "CheddarGateway" which seems to be something of a separate service similar to authorize.net..or is this part of CheddarGetter itself?

   I guess a better phrased question would be if I'm starting from scratch, what would I need? My understanding is that I need :

   1) Cheddargettar to handle the pricing plans/invoicing/etc.
   2) A gateway such a authorize.net (or the CheddarGateway which I was inquiring about)
   3) A Merchant account, which I think they list Equity Commerce as a preferred partner.

   Thanks in advance for any clarification on this as this is all fairly new to me. gtreitel, thanks for the links to the spreadsheet, most helpful!

   Jeff- its confusing, I know.

   A little help on this:

   To handle recurring billing online you need 3 things.

   1) A recurring billing engine (CheddarGetter)
   2) A merchant account (how you receive payment)
   3) A gateway that connects the engine to the merchant account. (CheddarGateway or authorize.net- CheddarGateway is cheaper and designed specifically for recurring billing)

   CheddarGateway is $20/month and $0.15 per transaction- this includes everything you'd need to get up and running including the customer vault which you'd spend ~$20 alone on from authorize.net.

   If you log in to your CheddarGetter account and go here: https://cheddargetter.com/admin/gateway/new we have the applications for merchant accounts, though if you already have one CheddarGateway most likely can hook to it.
