PayPal

1. Get a security certificate for your website (protects your customer's credit-card information).

2. Build a page to gather this information and place it in a secure database unique to your website.

You then retrieve the information from a secure page, and use this on your credit-card "swiping" gadget in your store or office.

Take payments on-line

1. Get a security certificate for your website (if you don't already have one).

2. Create a page for ordering your products or services.

3. Build an e-commerce link so that credit-card payment goes directly to your bank account.

Full-scale shopping cart

The "next step up" is adding a database with SKUs, prices, descriptions, photos, and the like — together with data about the customer: what's now in their basket, credit card information, ship-to addresses, etc.
