SSL and Credit Card Merchant Facility
Hi Experts. Quick Question.
I would like to set up a Credit Card Merchant Facility for my client's website, this is not an ecommerce website, just a wordpress site. So if someone goes to www.websitename.com/pay and they can enter credit card information, reference number, name, email and click Pay to process the payment. I also have to talk with the bank to get the approval and a customer number. Does any one know how to set something like this up? and also a good but still affordable SSL to put on the website?
An example would be something like this : https://www.sitesnstores.c
Thanks heaps guys.

@bportlock : Thanks for the reply. The reason I want to go with Credit Card Merchant Facility because of one reason. That is, the client has an online application he want the customers to fill out . SOmething like a Diploma Application. After they fill it out, the customers wants to give them a reference number automatically when they do the payment so he can track them. With PayPal, I know we can put a reference number in the Buy Now button, but is there a way to pass the HTML Application form's reference number to the PayPal button without getting the customer to type it?

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
You need to connect with some kind of Merchant Service company like Paypal or Authorize.net. The banks will not talk to you electronically and they do not directly process credit cards unless you set up Merchant Services account with them. Last time I talked to a bank about it, they still required me to get another provider to do the internet service part.!

@bportlock : Thanks. Is there any way you could have a source code for something like this?
The fragments linked to are the core of the call to PayPal and the callback. If you scroll down the article in question you will see the source code that needs to be used.
One fragment generates the button that the user should press to get to Paypal and the other is the core of the callback that processes the return from paypal.
It is hard to be more specific because gathering the information to build the Paypal form is so dependent on the website in question. If you can post up more information then perhaps I can suggest some pointers on how to proceed.

@bportlock : Thanks. Also, my client still wants his customers to be able to pay via credit card on the website. Actually, I don't really have to/want to save customers credit card details on file. Just name, phone and email would do. Do you know how this could be done?

Anyone?
If your client is selling just one or two products then a PayPal shop or PayPal buttons would be the best bet, or possibly Google Checkout but it is a bit more complex.
