I would imagine most if not all payment gateways (e.g. Authorize.net) allow a "Authorization Only" submittal; the card is only actually charged with a subsequent "Prior Authorization Capture" using a transaction id or some other token, which means there's no need to retain the actual card data on the site (a very good thing!).
