Of course, upon reading their home page, it appears you're locked into the
VITAL gateway.  If you need to interface with someplace that doesn't use
that gateway, this doesn't appear like it will fly.  

That was a -very- quick look I gave it, but still...

Doing this kind of research--what "vendor" you're going to use for
your payment gateway--is something best done 100% prior to making any
commitments whatsoever.  Getting locked into something shoddy is really not
a move anyone wants to make if they have the chance to avoid it.
