I was wondering if anyone in the group has/is using Authorize.net as a payment gateway in their Drupal 7 set-up. The website I'm building is not a commerce website so the Drupal Commerce module is not the best fit (at least that I can see). I need Authorize.net to handle donations and bill payments but it seems like the majority of modules that deal with payments (Pay module, authorize.net module, donation module, etc.) are all still in early development.
What are some solutions that you have used? I'd love to hear some suggestions!
Thanks!

Use Drupal Commerce
From what I understand, Drupal Commerce is the premier module for any type of monetary exchange, regardless of how simple, starting with D7 and going forward. The major developers within the Oklahoma Drupalers group talk about it all the time, and they are committed to using it for their clients' sites that have any type of payment or donation functions. The most simple alternative would probably be working exclusively through Pay Pal to embed purchase buttons for simple transactions, but beyond that, Drupal Commerce would be an excellent choice. Drupal Commerce is the preferred replacement for the older Ubercart system, and many of the Oklahoma Drupalers group members are phasing out Ubercart in favor of Drupal Commerce as they transition their clients' sites to D7. Drupal Commerce is also still in development for Drupal 7, but the current release is stable, and for the future it is a strong choice for dependable, ongoing maintenance with a solid team of developers committed to it. You might want to re-post your question in the forums if you would like further input.

Thanks for the tips! I
Thanks for the tips! I researched how to do donations through Drupal Commerce over 3 months back and there was no documentation so I thought that it wasn't possible with DC. But after revisiting the problem, I found videos by the Commerce Guys that explains how to do donations. I also installed authorize.net module for drupal commerce and everything works perfectly (so far). Hopefully the module will be out of dev by the time the site is ready to go live.
But now I'm trying to figure out how to implement eCheck.net but it looks like it's not part of the module yet. I'm crossing my fingers that the module will be ready in a few months!
