Hi,
Hi,
I want to integrate credit card processing on my website in such a way that a user enters their credit card information on my website the first time they purchase something, and then the next time they purchase something, their payment info is stored in their account so that they only have to click a button and the order is then processed automatically. What service would I need to achieve this? Do you recommended any specific companies? Thanks

You’ll need a merchant account to process the purchases – they’ll tell you what software you need to access their computer.
You’ll need a database and code to store your customers’ CC info. (If it gets stolen it’s your responsibility – and you’ll have to pay all losses – so you probably want to leave the design to a professional.)
We have used authorize.net in the past and integration has been easy.
I strongly recommend against storing the Cc numbers. It’s a MASSIVE liability. Most retailers employ state of the art firewalls, network configs, encryption algorithms and still fall prey to hackers. Once you loose your customer credit cards there a several protocols to follow in notifying customers and it is a paperwork hell.
Best approach would be collect credit number, encrypt and store, collect on the transaction and delete the card number from your database.
