That depends. I am making ic-shops for smaller buisness who want ther 
own server,
an accepted SSL certificat for use with danish creditcards (only 
certificats from verisign,
KMD & TDC are accepted) costs 750EUR in creation and ~600EUR pr.year.
and then we also have to pay for the payment gateway access. (which is 
~210EUR)

A solution like the one described costs ~300EUR pr.year. but that's 
include the paymentGW access.
so saving 510EUR pr.shop pr.year. (and a minimum of 10 shops.) hmm. I 
think it is worth it.

Of curse, as an developer, maby I am not the one saving the monny, but 
maby that
would be the reson for custommers to choose me as an developer, and not
someone else.

Just to be cuorious, what payment gateway do you use, and at what costs ?
Because, if it can be done cheaper, I am open for sugestions.

(An gateway MUST support dankort, visa & master)
