Heroku and ip mask

Hi, I'm building a shopping site which uses a service which allows credit card payments (tranzilla), the service is requiring an IP or IP mask from which it will allow requests (by sockets). The problem is that I'm using heroku as hosting, which is decentralized... Is there any way to do this? (except buying the custom ssl add-on, which is my last resort and not the best solution)
P.S. full IP mask is not acceptable.

+1  A: 

Yes, you can use a hosted VPN service to maintain a static IP Address in which to contact tranzilla. A proxy server might also work, however, using a public proxy server would be a bad idea.

Wow, didn't think about that :) a nice solution, thank you.we are actually not that concerned about security or performance (in worst case someone will hack and pay us more money :) ) so we can use any cheap dedicated server we want, important part is that it will have a static IP... Thanks again.
