When I integrated our invoicing system with credit card processing I was pretty much shocked at how complex it was and then how much money they take out in transactions. Then I was shocked that I had to get two systems… a credit card processor and a merchant account. The only advantage I had was that I was able to do it with my bank – but of course they hang onto the funds for a few days to increase their interest rates. Ugh.
