Setting up a shopping cart system with online credit card ordering is difficult, and requires a merchant services bank account. You might be better off using one of the "out of the box" e-commerce systems, though I'm not sure how good they are.

There's a book review and extract over at Webreference you could have a look at:

Hope this helps

Without using one of the out-of-the-box systems, PayPal is probably the simplest way to get credit card payments. Their fee is a percentage of the transaction, and the funds appear in your account instantly. (Of course, you still have the several days waiting period to transfer the money into your own home bank.)

I’ll tell you that I haven’t done this yet (not with PayPal), but it looks cookie-cutter simple. They even have a wizard to create the cart. Sign up for the “Preferred” status (no cost), then click on the HELP link, and look for “Seller Tools”. I’ll be trying this myself in a week or so. Right now I’m still trying to negotiate a suitable product. :D

Good Luck to you.
