Handling credit card requires a contract with both a payment gateway and someone to handle the credit cards.

You need a merchant account with a bank or other payment processor.

Your best bet is not to store the credit card details yourself. Get PayPal or Authorize.net to handle the transactions, so you're not opened up to the legal liability if someone gets into your site and steals the data. Especially if you're not very experienced with PHP or are on a shared server...

Yeah you need a merchant.. I'm actually looking into using Google Checkout for a site I'm going to make, I think its supposed to be the "next generation" of this sort of thing since its done by Google, its supposed to be really easy to use. I've tried to use some other gateways before and gets pretty messy, especially if you want to accept international payments.
