Authorize.net is the gateway most Bermuda banks already work with. We're a referral partner, so the simplest path is: tell us who you bank with, we email you the signup link along with what to ask your bank for, you set up the account direct with Authorize.net, and you pay them their $25/month gateway fee plus their transaction and batch fees. No fee to dotbm.
If you'd rather not deal with it, Basic setup is $99, paid once, on completion. We set up your Authorize.Net account and gateway, configure the fraud-prevention settings and connect it to your existing compatible website or platform. Your business gets its e-commerce merchant account from its bank. If you need the payment page itself designed and built, that is Pay Online. FirstData is our preferred processor.
What we handle
Working out which route fits before you look at numbers? How to accept credit card payments in Bermuda covers the four points a payment passes through, and what to look for in a Bermuda payment gateway has the questions worth asking any provider.

Referral
Authorize.Net's gateway-only plan. We email you our referral link and you set the account up yourself.
Basic setup
We set up your Authorize.Net account and gateway, configure the fraud-prevention settings and connect it to your existing compatible website or platform.
Your business gets its e-commerce merchant account from its bank. New payment pages, new websites and custom integrations are separate work. Work outside the agreed scope is $185 an hour, approved by you before it starts.
The eight gateway features are the same on both paths. What you pay for on Basic setup is our work, not extra features.
Every fee, itemised
Three parties charge you and only one of them is us. Nothing below is hidden in a footnote.

The batch fee is charged once for each day the gateway settles a batch, so it is about $3 a month if you settle every day and nothing on days you take no payments. A shop doing 200 sales a month pays Authorize.net roughly $48: $25 gateway, $20 in transaction fees and $3 in batch fees. Your bank's card rates are on top of that.
What your customers can pay with
Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Apple Pay, Google Pay and other digital wallets, plus recurring billing through Automated Recurring Billing. eCheck / ACH bank transfers are available as an Authorize.net add-on and carry their own fees, which we will quote before you switch it on.
A ranked checklist for hardening your Authorize.net account: fraud filters, logins, PCI and more.
Not sure which PCI questionnaire applies to you? Is my Bermuda payment page PCI compliant? has a two-minute test you can run on your own site.
