You need to have SSL set up on the server (OpenSSL if you are using linux). The actual transaction depends upon the gateway you are using (Authorize.net, Verisign, SurePay, etc). However, they generally require sending a document over an SSL link. So the cURL libraries are very useful to have. I'd suggest checking out PHP's OpenSSL functions as well.
