If you want to do it your self, as far as I know, you will need an audit (anyone who comes into contact with card numbers)
These, I believe, are quarterly and cost a substantial amount.
Unless you are going to be processing 1000's of transactions you are better of with a PSP (payment Service Provider)
I personally use Protx (Approx £20 per month). This works out one of the cheapest ways to take on-line payment.
I've heard PayPal is good now, but I've never integrated it so can't comment.

There are no free payment gateways or free merchant accounts. How you actually process a credit card will vary as each payment gateway and third party processor uses a different API. No audit or anything like that needed.
And it's not true that you need to process thousands of transactions for a true merchant account to be worthwhile. There are many factors that influence which is better for a business. You need to weight your options before choosing a provider.

I wasn't suggesting that a true merchant account wasn't worthwile, just that I have been informed that to process credit card numbers on your own site you have to have an audit, using a PSP you don't need to have an audit as the PSP is processing the credit card number for you.
With Protx you still need a merchant account with your bank.
Or is a 'true' merchant account different?

For a true merchant account a credit check will be done but that's not a big deal. Considering the benefits of a true merchant account over a third party processor, under most circumstances, it is usually well worth doing.
