Short answer: pick one of two routes — use a payment service provider (PSP) like PayPal or Stripe for the fastest, lowest-effort setup (buttons, payment links, hosted checkout), or get a merchant account + gateway if you need full control and custom routing. PSPs give ready-made buttons and plugins for common carts; merchant-account + gateway offers more control but more setup. (developer.paypal.com)

Hosted checkout (payment links, Stripe/PayPal hosted pages, or dashboard-created buttons) keeps card data off your server and greatly simplifies PCI scope, which is the safest path for non-technical sellers. If you already run a shop, use a modern cart or hosted platform with a supported payment plugin rather than rolling your own form that posts raw card data. ()

If your site currently stores card numbers or CVVs: stop. PCI rules explicitly forbid retaining sensitive authentication data after authorization; move card storage to a token/vault offered by your PSP so your servers never hold the PAN or CVV. Tokenization replaces the card number with a useless token and reduces your compliance burden. (blog.pcisecuritystandards.org)

Practical steps: create the business account with the provider, use the provider’s sandbox/test mode, pick hosted checkout or a vetted cart plugin, wire up webhooks/IPN, test end-to-end, then switch to live keys. If transactions suddenly stop, check API keys, webhook endpoints, TLS/cipher requirements, gateway account status and provider logs — provider docs show how to test and debug. ()

Notes for this thread: and were right that third‑party processors are easiest; and rightly offered help if you want custom work. For a safe, low-effort start try PayPal Payment Links or Stripe Checkout with a WooCommerce/Shopify plugin — and if or anyone else has card data sitting in a DB, delete sensitive fields immediately (after safely migrating to a tokenized solution) and contact your gateway/acquirer for next steps.

Hi

There are 3rd party merchant systems such as PAYPAL, 2CHECKOUT so on while you can also get a direct merchant account such as from AUTHORIZE.NET and directly process Credit Cards.

There are benefits and so on from having your own merchant account as well as having one from 3rd party processing, just do your research.

To implement it into your website, I'd recommend setting up a shopping card like oscommerce or a billing system thats pre-built with APIs to work with Paypal or Merchant Accounts like Authorize.net's gateway.

Good luck

Pay pal has that all set up for you in their merchant section. I would not recommend setting up paypal buttons for every product you have, there are any open source free content management system (CMS) e-commerce frameworks, like osCommerce that have that all that integrated.
