What SSL or Security to use. Please help with this process.

I have a customer that wants to sell 2 or 3 items. They have a credit card machine in their office and just want to receive orders via email or have a place to log in to get orders.

We want security when typing in credit card information. But we want to be able to process the credit card information at the office. Can this be done?

Would I create an order page with their order, then create another page with their name address and so-on. Then the 3rd page would go to the secure server and they would type in credit card info, then get emailed to my client? Or am I missing the boat here?

What service should I use?
Thanks.

Lets get this straight. You would like to create the illusion for the end user that the information they provide can not be observed during their transaction (from the browser to the server). Then the information in clear text will be emailed to your client who would process the transaction on their Credit Card machine.

What options are available to you/your client?
Database? online payment processor? etc.

Thanks for all your help.

The credit card company we are dealing with will accept typed in cc orders.

My hosting company has a Shared SSL service. Can I use this along with Pgp.com or Gnupg.org to retrieve and store the orders/data? I know I would have to have some type of plugin for Outlook or Thunderbird on store's end to get the orders.

After the orders are received on the store's end, how do I purge the old data off the server?

Thanks for you help.
