Security being relative, the best you can do is make your system as secure as possible.

Verisign will give you a SSL certificate which you will use to encrypt your traffic, i.e. use https instead of http.

Then, you may want to implement all or most of the recommendations of PCI DSS<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Payment_Card_Industry_Data_Security_Standard> .

Be aware that this is not a one off task, rather a constant non-ending task, for as long as you are the one in charge of that system.

There are various ways to do this, I bet there are skunks who have done it and can give you practical experience. My info is theoretical. Anyways, if you use normal credit cards, i.e. Visa, MasterCard etc, you will need to get a merchant account with some bank so that when people pay using these cards, the cash comes directly to your account. A while back I&M was offering such an account, but I hear its damn expensive. You could also use PayPal, there are various ways of integrating PayPal with your shop. You might want to also check out Google Checkout. Not forgetting, of course, good old mpesa :-) On Thu, Jun 30, 2011 at 9:40 AM, Calvin Omari <calvinebarongo@gmail.com>wrote:
