First of all you need an SSL Certificate in order to secure the pages your order forms are on.

Not too sure about validating a credit card, you might have to hunt Google for that answer.

To use the credit card info you receive you need a business account with a bank, and need to set-up a special credit card processing scheme.
This allows you to send the bank the credit card info, the amount to charge, and also allows the bank to show your company name on the card holders statements.

Unfortunatly to do things legally it requires money in order to make money. If you don't go down the official route you are likely to end up being charged with fraud.

So.. the best thing to do would be to talk to your bank. If you are too young, or unemployed, or a student, then don't expect the bank to take you seriously.
