      Ensure that you are using https rather than http for the portions where you are going to be handing over credit card information. Use strong encryption on the card details in the database, and keep the server secured behind at least one firewall with the security updates kept patched continuously.

        Like Pete said, use https, and encrypt using a strong encryption algorithm. Search around to see which ones are better than others.
