Software Order Processing Service?

[Marty Knapp]

Hi Scott,

I just signed up with FastSpring.com. So far, so good. You can provide 
them with a list of registration codes that then get sent to the 
customer upon successful payment. Their control panel/setup is pretty 
straight forward. They do charge an 8.9% processing fee. In my search, I 
didn't find anyone who didn't go by a percentage. FastSpring can also 
customize the checkout page so that it matches the rest of your site 
very nicely (you have to ask for this). You get paid either once or 
twice a month - your choice.

PayPal works pretty good if you don't need to deal with registration codes.

I would also be interested in what others are using. Especially as 
regards disseminating registration codes.

HTH,
Marty Knapp
