Thanks for the suggestion.

With eWay payments are received in AUD. I prefer to give purchasers the option to purchase in their currency.

Share-It gives that facility. Unfortunately it doesn't seem like there are many other companies offering this facility.

Authorize.net accepts credit card payments and validates the credit card, and withdraws the money from the credit card and deposits the money into your merchant's account and issues a report on the transaction. Limit is $99,999.99. I am not sure what else you would need. And the whole process can be intergrated into a VFP application.
