Here's why: 1. Half the rates of our previous provider 2. cost-plus - the most transparent & consistent way of doing business as a merchant provider. I don't have to wonder what Dharma's margins are. 3. Trace answers every question I can come up with thoroughly (email & phone) 4. They donate 10% of profits to a charity of our choice 5. They are local. 6. The setup process was easy and timely for e-commerce and card-swipe. 7. No Contract or early cancellation fee. Complaints: none. They saw the need for good business in an industry fraught with deception and greed. They created an exceptional business model and they are following through on their commitments to be green and keep their customers happy. I will and have recommended them to everyone.<table class="ratings"><tr><td class="rating_label">User Rating</td><td class="rating_value"><img src="http://www.merchantmaverick.com/wp-content/plugins/review-site/star.gif" alt="5" /><img src="http://www.merchantmaverick.com/wp-content/plugins/review-site/star.gif" alt="5" /><img src="http://www.merchantmaverick.com/wp-content/plugins/review-site/star.gif" alt="5" /><img src="http://www.merchantmaverick.com/wp-content/plugins/review-site/star.gif" alt="5" /><img src="http://www.merchantmaverick.com/wp-content/plugins/review-site/star.gif" alt="5" /></td></tr></table> 5 Stars!!

Here’s why:

Thanks for the site! I think I will try Dharma for my seasonal ski rental shop, I'll be sure to post a review. I was already to go with CDGCommerce when I heard about Dharma FROM ANOTHER SITE!!! I then searched "Dharma review" which brought me back here. As a certified ski bum I am attracted to their "green" theme and their charity donation. Of course, their low rates and fast set up time ( I hope ) don't hurt.<table class="ratings"><tr><td class="rating_label">User Rating</td><td class="rating_value">Not Rated</td></tr></table> Please put Dharma in the 5 star category on your compare page.

I was transferred to the President of the Company, Jeff Marcous who was honest and quickly answered each of my questions with a complete response. Informative and extremely professional.
