Your client needs a gateway & merchant account.  If you want
authorize.net (as the gateway), then go to authorize.net and research
the resellers.  Make some recommendations to your client.  Have your
client call the reseller and set up an account.  Once that is done,
you will be good to go.  All you need is the authorize.net account
information.  Authorize.net is supported by pretty much every cart
software on the market.

Keep in mind that the credit card fees are all lies.  No matter what
rate they advertise, it will end up being more. If it says 2.5%, that
means 2.5% for a blue colored visa with no rewards program issued in
Guam.  Expect to pay %3.5 + .40 processing + $20-40/month for the
gateway + $25 for each charge back regardless of the outcome.
