Invoicing clients thru merchant account via Mac

Hi.

I'm repeatedly running into a wall on how to resolve my invoicing dilemma. Back in the days of PC I set up a merchant account thru Quickbooks where I could automatically process credit card payments for my clients. Now that I'm on the Mac I no longer have that capability. QB for Mac doesn't interface with the merchant account feature. I've looked into MYOB, but wasn't wild about having to re-set up another merchant account and paying $99 to do so. I've also looking into iBiz which looks great, but there is no merchant account availability. Someone even pointed me to Freshbooks which I've used in the past for invoicing alongside PayPal, but isn't compatible with my current merchant. Is anyone out there set up as a merchant on their Mac and if so what are you using and what are the fees, if you don't mind my asking?

Thanks in advance,

--dawn
