That sure looks like a different question to me. You could invoice customers by either email or paper and have them connect to your web site to pay by credit card. In that case, entering a card number each time is not out of the question. Also, in contast to automated billing, I would think this approach may be more desirable to the billing company. By requiring a live human being to connect and re-enter cc information, you're also getting an explicit approval from the customer for the invoiced charges. With automated card payments, given that the invoice amounts may vary each month, you could have the charges questioned after the cc is billed, and you may see a number of charge-backs.
