Gary,

You are going to need to talk with your bank about setting you up with a 
Merchant Account.  This is what you would use to process credit 
cards.  Depending on the state you live in and the bank you deal with, 
there are all sorts of policies regarding what this will cost and how much 
up front and the like.  If this ends up being too restrictive, you may want 
to check the thread about PayPal integration.
