How do I make/test a checkout for my shopping cart script?

Hello all,

I have made a good shopping cart application that essentially does all of the good old functions: add to cart, view products, search and so on. My problem is, I need to setup a way to allow customers to check out.

I know I would just take the product ID #s from the shopping cart and add them up and so forth; however, how do I actually set up the system that takes their credit card number and makes the monetary exchange?

I know this is a complex question, so does anyone know of any tutorials or scripts that they have used in the past (that worked) to make your own shopping cart checkout?

Thanks for any help!

You should determine which payment processor you will be using. Usually your bank will only accept a couple. Then go to the payment processor's site and download the SDK for the language you are using.

Thanks for your reply!

Just so that I have somewhere to start...what are some of the most heavily used payment processors?
