Three stage process: 1. secure connection to enter info (card details) - either unique or third party vendor 2. checking system - either unique or third party vendor 3. paying system - either unique or third party vendor
The best "solution" for a simple fix is to go with a third party vendor who will supply the SSL (secure connection), card checking system and payment system - of course this all comes at a fee... Depends on the vendor but usually around 2-4%. Good CF "friendly" easy to use solution is WORLDPAY... The "unique" solution is a longer term set-up and will still cost, but depends on what you want, it will involve getting an SSL (verity 128 bit encryption software) and dedicated IP address for it to sit on. It also involves getting hold of a internet card checking facility (usually supplied by a bank or card provider - you need to check on this as it's different for us in the UK) - you also will need an Internet Merchant account with a bank in order to make payments online to your account - via a system like ePDQ (Barclays in the UK for example) - again tho this will cost a percentage of the transaction and most of the companies that offer this service will expect a base rate return.
