Hi Luis,
Getting CC processing is a multi-step process. I have some information regarding this process in my Product Documentation for my Web Store - but this info is mostly generic.
http://www.west-wind.com/westwindwebstore/docs/index.htm?page=_13U0XJX0K.htmI personally prefer Authorize.NET because they are easy to set up with, fast processing and much cheaper than PayFlow. Authorize.NET also has foreign providers.
As to the actual CC Processing the mechanism will vary based on thet provider, but it's usually pretty straight forward. What I usually do regardless of tool used is build a wrapper for each of the providers. If you look at the document above and look at the related classes you can see an example of what this usually looks like.
As Claude mentions PayPal is also a good choice especially if you're just starting out and want to see how it goes. The nice thing about PayPal is that it has no up front costs and can be done from anywhere in the world. I just wrote up an article on this:
