Essentially what I am trying to do is setup a work flow similar to PayPal. I have created an application that allows my clients to accept online donations and what I want to do is take % percent of that transaction off the top. The problems I have run into are:

Authroize does not allow me to take on an additional fee that is paid out to my account
I could run a report every month on all my clients transactions to determine what they owe but this is less than ideal
All of the companies I looked at do not allow for aggregation where by all of the donation systems pay into my account then I remit payment to my clients

Does anyone know of a company that allows for this or is my only option here going to be to setup my own Payment Gateway or is there a simpler solution?
