[FX.php List] [OT]Accepting Credit Card Payments

[Marisa Smith]

I'm looking into accepting credit card payments by my own clients,  
and am trying to find a good, low-cost solution for just a few  
transactions per year, and it has to WORK WITH A MAC.  I have had  
several people I know recommend using Quickbooks, which I already use  
for my accounting, but it is not available in the Macintosh version  
of Quickbooks.  I also looked at the eAuthorize plugin from Waves In  
Motion for FMSA, but it is also only for Windows.

I'm really only thinking of offering this because of a few payment  
delays I've had working with educational institutions that have a  
complex PO/check-cutting process.  In some cases, it's taken me hours  
of effort to coordinate payment of a simple invoice, that I could  
have just had charged to their Purchasing Card.  Most of the merchant  
accounts out there seem geared to high-volume point of sale  
businesses, so I wondered if anyone could point me in the right  
direction for a low-volume solution?  I'd rather have a personal  
recommendation from people with similar business interests to start  
with since I came up with thousands of hits when I did a google search.

Thanks in advance.

P.S.  I'm not looking to integrate this with my own website, although  
I'm not against that idea.  For the number of times I would use this,  
I'm just as happy to write their number down, login somewhere, and  
hand-enter the transaction for processing.
