To work out how to do the credit card processsing you have to contact the bank - they all do things differently when it comes to sending info to their servers. They will then do the validation and the money transfer. Don't save credit card numbers on your server if at all possible - you don't want to be in trouble if someone hacks it do you?

In a nutshell, yes. But the actual procedure will depend on the bank.
