If you’re in the market for a merchant account, we’re big fans of the Merchant Account Blog. It has tons of great info and some great tools that can help you make an informed decision when shopping around for a good account to run your transactions through. A great post to start with is The processing fee is the least important one on your application!.

Have you found any good, vendor-neutral places to learn about the complex world of payment processing? Link them up in the comments – we’ll approve all of them that are clearly not shills for a given vendor.
