I wouldn't take credit cards unless you can control the
server. Taking credit cards is a big responsibility,
and you will have a hard time proving that you did it
correctly should anything go wrong. Although I am used
to US liability laws (and am therefore paranoid about such
things), I wouldn't want to be the one who got sued because
someone hacked into the ISP and set up a credit card
sniffer. I set up a credit card system and found it to be painful, because I had to deal with:
Given the level of experience you have described, the tools that you have available, and your time frame, it sounds like a crash-and-burn to me. Debugging problems will be extremely difficult, especially with your credit card system, which is difficult to prototype. For example, say your credit card transaction times out. How will you solve the problem? It should work perfectly the first time! - toma
