Third Party Payment Providers
Here's a list of third party payment providers, by no means a complete list. (This list is provided for your information and is not to be seen as a recommendation.)
Some provide complete ecommerce solutions while others serve as payment gateways only. Services and costs vary. Most are US based and/or process payments in US Dollars.

Merchant Accounts
Your Own Merchant Account - USA Only
The ideal option would be to accept credit cards, debit cards and checks online though your own merchant account. USA readers can apply online here
For various reasons (Credit worthiness, ease of use, etc.) this may not always be an option. This is where third party payment processors come in.
