To be able to actually charge a CC you need a contract with a clearing
house (FirePay, for example). There's no standard to it; every
clearinghouse I've ever dealt with uses its own protocol.
Generally this involves transmitting data via POST and receiving
(asynchronously) transaction data via SSL. You might consider using cURL
for this kind of stuff; most of them have working examples in Java, PHP,
ASP, etc.
