  • Hm, I wouldn't reinvent the wheel, but rather have a look at http://www.hotscripts.com or similar sites like http://www.sourceforge.net . There are a lot of geeks around who developed such stuff and released it to the Open Source Community.

  • The easiest way is to use PayPal for payment and leave it up to the user to choose how they pay.  PayPal will allow the use of funds from your account there, instant transfers from your checking, or credit cards.

  • A couple of thoughts... if you're selling something on the net that you're delivering immediately, then you need to verify and charge the cc immediately. This requires a relationship with a card issuing bank, and software to communicate with them in real time. It can be complicated and expensive. You can instead do what many do, and deal with a third party who charges you a monthly fee, and a percentage of the transaction, and does all that for you without you even having to have a merchant number.

    If you already have a merchant number, and are happy to verify the cc number offline, then you can build secure web pages using a certificate from Verisign or comptetitors to accept the credit card number. There are some basic Luhn checks available for javascript if you want to verify that the number is at least a legitimate number for that issuer. Then you can save the cc number (preferably encrypted) in your SQL server database until such time as an administrator can retrieve it using again, a secured page, decrpyt it, and hand key it into the card terminal.

    PayPal and similar systems have limitations about what sites they will accept (censorship), and they require users to have an account with them (thus they're not really accepting credit cards).
