Switch to Braintree

my understanding is that braintree is a gateway, and replacable by authorize. either way, its independent of my merchant service provider, which is the problem here.

if you think this is incorrect and switching to braintree solves this problem, please explain further.

If you go to Braintree, you see this on the web site:

http://www.braintreepaymentsolutions.com/services/merchant-a... Bundled Services – Merchant Account, Payment Gateway, Credit Card Storage and Recurring Billing

Meaning they do offer some competitive, wrapped merchant account. I haven't used Braintree - anyone have comments on these guys being good vs. bad?
