title: Payment Gateway within Magento - Accept payments through Credit Card
body: <p>I will cut the post short.</p>
  
  <p>I need to accept credit card payment through my Magento Install. Now I thought it should be straight forward where I will get the API from some provider (say Authorize.net) and put in my API details within the admin, but alas.</p>
  
  <p>When I searched, all I find is that people are trying to create Custom Payment Gateways instead of using Magento's own admin. I am new to this and I need help in this.</p>
  
  <p>I will be thankful if you can help me in finding answers for:-</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>What is the straight forward way (a tutorial may be) to implement payment gateway on my website</li>
  <li>What is the best payment gateway company</li>
  <li>Do I need to make Custom Payment Gateway?</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Thanks a lot</p>
