check out www.e-xact.com ...I used them in a recent project ... may be a bit complicated because they require their clients to get their own merchant account (unlike PayPal). But they do offer a ColdFusion Kit for their system, and it's fairly easy to use...there are a few little kinks with their ColdFusion code, but if you do use them just email me off-list and I'll send you the fixed-up code (no sense, re-inventing the wheel).
