For the ability to allow customers to purchase products or menu items, checkout and pay online, our payment processor is Square (it takes about 15mins to create an account and rates decrease after 45 days based on volume). To signup for an account go to:
United States: https://squareup.com/i/2DEA0C0E59
We like Square for online payments because it's a flat % fee regardless of card type, payments are deposited next day, and they have really simple and powerful reporting. Because online payments are charged as 'card not present/manual entry', the rates (eg. Moneris) would be higher than what you pay for in-person credit card transactions.
