Well, I guess that my suggestion should have been more full bodied to say that using a Credit Card as your line of credit would simplify the process, and there are lots of different ways to basically build that e-commerce-ness of a site without storing the data within your own site. I guess what needs to be asked is what is the client really after? As the way the statement is phrased, seems to lead to a very interesting solution, involving lots of potential pitfalls.
