It is certainly possible. The questions to ask include the authorization service provider you want to work with (or several depending on your business topology), the level of integration you want (API or full integration), and of course the big one: Cost.
There are a number of companies that provide credit card services with varying levels of integration ability and cost. At Precision Solutions, our Achieve credit card interface that can be configured to talk to whatever service provider you choose, so you're not specifically limited to a specific service. We have clients who use a single Achieve instance that communicates with several backend service providers across multiple countries, servicing several front-end (both U2 and non-U2) clients. And if at some point you decide to change service providers, your business system application does not need to change to adapt, as Achieve handles the protocol issues and communication details with your new service provider.

We have a competitor at one client that processes credit cards for them with line-item detail of their purchases. I'm not familiar enough with credit card processing to know if doing so via U2 is possible. Currently we have a card swiper in a central location and all cards are processed there. I'd like a solution that would allow our sales team to just type the number in and have things automagically happen, with a verification printed on the forms we currently generate in our 'legacy' U2 application. We aren't using anything other than the text-based green screen application, albeit via nice XP-based PCs (Okay, I'd rather they ran on Linux as I do).
