Ben, A lot can go wrong altogether if you have little experience with ecommerce. Even if you use an off the shelf shopping cart. If this client is expecting high volumes in the future, you may want to do your research wisely regarding security. In fact, you may want to consider subcontracting that portion of the project out, and try to learn as much about the process from the subcontractor so that you can accomplish it by yourself on the next run.
