I felt like I should at least comment as some of the others already have.
I have been using Authorize.net and Wells Fargo for almost two years and
found the integration into IC to be *very easy* to say the least. As for
online tools, I dont use the WF site for anything and dont have an account
through them. The Auth.net site panel seems easy enough, although I rarely
have to go there for anything either, since I control everything from
within IC.
As for the workings of both, they have worked with no issues whatsoever.
That kind of seems like something I dont want to mess with ;-) BTW, this
is with versions 4.8.3 through 4.9.8 that I have been using.
HTH.
