As a freelancer, i offer website design and development on top of my normal job, however, I want my customers to be able to transact payments using their credit cards. Also, I’m a non-US country? How do I set this up? and What would be the requirements? Any URLs? Thanks in advance.
For domestic US business (the merchant will be processing US based cards, ship from the US, and has their banking based in the US), you have a huge variety of payment gateways which will either have a built in shopping cart or integrate to the majority of the 3rd party shopping carts. for NON-US based operations the details and arrangements and risk are MUCH higher – and usually specific to the country.
In any case, the ‘gateway’ must be certified by the Processing Bank (acquierer). Internet searches and even a few phone calls should narrow down the field drastically based on country.
In the US I can make several suggestion – here you will receive a residual income for the accounts you put on the books.

godaddy is my favorite website.
PayPal processes credit cards and has examples giving you the HTML you need to incorporate it into any web site.
