I can't believe that I've been looking for a decent payment gateway for almost a month now. All the good payment gateways support US bank accounts only! All the clients I dealt with before had US bank accounts, now I need to use a payment gateway for a company that doesn't have a us bank account.

The problem is that payment gateways that support international merchants have the payment page on their server, and they lie to you and tell you that you can customize it -they can customize my ass- they let you put the logo and change some colors, pretty neat for lamers. This raises a number of problems, e.g. the site i'm currently developing is in Arabic, imagine how the user would feel when faced with an english payment page, pretty crap, ha?

If anyone knows a payment gateway that supports international Merchants PLEASE let me know. Only if it supports AIM( Advanced Method Integration; Authorizenet Jargon) Meaning that my site can communicate behind the scenes with the gateway( e.g. using CURL )

I just came up with a silly pick up line, don't know if anybody invented it or whatever.

"What's up rubber duck?"

If you ever think of using this line, shoot yourself before the girl you're trying to hit on picks up a shootgun, and fires 17 warning shots into your HEAD.
