You should do an authorization for an amount. This puts a hold for that amount on the customers credit card but in the end, you know the card is legit. Just passing check sum's on credit cards is not going to be enough and the cfinput isn't even going to go that far if I'm not mistaken. The bank if that is your processor will perform these actions for you, and in the end it's something you need to suck up as a fee for doing business. you can't tell the customer that if their card fails they are responsible for fees because your customer may be fake as well. I see a lot of fake credit cards along with stolen cards, cash cards and cards that can't even pass a $1.00 authorization. You are better off finding out up front that that is the case and turn the customer away vs trying to get money from them after the fact.
