[Nan Harbison]

We use authorize.net, so we don't store CC info!
Thanks

The absolute best (read: cheapest and easiest) way to take money is to have
a merchant/processor that handles everything for you real time.

The second you store a credit card number in your own database, you enter a
whole new world.

If you can get away with doing an XML post to a 3rd party, such as
paymentech (which i use and would recommend), and let them handle the auth,
the charge, and the settling on their systems, you're life will be far
easier.
