I have been familiar with PayPal Payflow link and the customized version as well for a while now and my client has suggested through a reseller to use Authorize.NET. I have never used them but wanted to know if most out there have a preference. For this client I was just going to use the Payflow Link in which when they click place order it literally goes to a paypal customized site with your logo etc as this is what the client initially wanted but when I looked at the Authorize.NET solution it looks a little more involved.

So my question is any preference out there and if you have any reasons I would like to hear them?

I have been using Authorize.net with CF e-commerce applications since 2001. My one try with PayPal was a disasterous waste of time trying to use their API. Authorize.net API is simple and quick to run and load.

Also, The authorize.net management console is much easier to use once integration is performed so that you can see what is happening with your transactions.
