    That's a large task that goes way beyond a forum thread. If you don't know how at this point you're not going to learn it here. You're going to need to hire someone to do this for you. I'm doing exactly what you are asking as I type this and there is a lot to it. There are a lot of factors you need to consider not least of which is security.

    Actually, it is not that difficult.

    get an SSL cert from your host, so that you can send your visitors to an https checkout page that is secure. Then, find a merchant for credit cards. I use Blue Pay. They even have copy and paste checkout forms for you to use, or you can just set up the virtual terminal on their site. Paypal has a feature that allows you to make custom checkout pages. Just log into your paypal accoutn and do some looking around.

    All of this could be done easier if you just use a cart system.

    Why don't you just use the Paypal Checkout page which supports both Paypal and Credit Card payments.

    If not, some 3rd party payment processor like worldpay might work for you.
