We use TransFirst and are generally happy with them. They offer a web
service that you can integrate with and also support ACH transactions in
addition to credit card. We evaluated PayPal, too, and they have a nice API
that looks relatively easy to use, but no ACH support (at the time), which
was a requirement for us.
