    <p>Hire someone with ecommerce experience to do this. If you don't know what https is then you shouldn't be handling sensitive information like credit card numbers or processing payments. The implications of a poor implementation are <em>huge</em> and lives can literally be ruined from it.</p> <p><strong>Do not store the credit card information in a database.</strong> This is a bad idea for numerous reasons listed many places on the Interwebs. <a href="https://www.pcisecuritystandards.org/security_standards/pci_dss.shtml" rel="nofollow noreferrer">PCI Compliance</a> being the most commonly cited one. It is a really, really, really bad idea. </p> <p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_Secure" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Https</a>, by the way, is the secure version of the http protocol and allows for http traffic to be encrypted between clients (usually a browser and server but not always). It is implemented by the installation of an <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_Layer_Security" rel="nofollow noreferrer">SSL certificate</a>.</p> <p>Your best bet is to use a merchant account and a payment gateway service like <a href="http://developer.authorize.net/api/sim/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Authorize.Net's SIM API</a> which handles the order form for you. That way you hand the handling of sensitive data to them.</p> <p>You may want to read <a href="http://www.merchant-account-services.org/article/merchant-accounts-101" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Merchant Accounts 101</a> and <a href="http://www.merchant-account-services.org/article/ecommerce-101" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Ecommerce 101</a> before proceeding. <em>Disclaimer, I wrote those articles.</em></p>
