Well, I don't need anything besides a Secure Form that a user can fill out and I can some how get the info from it securely.

All I need is a secured page with a form on it that people can fill out and put their CC# on and somehow get it to me under a secure enviroment.

Is there anyway to do this? Any company that will sell this? Just a secure order form. Where the link to it is something like..

paymentpeople.com/form.php?name=ProductName&ordernum=Order Number.......etc...

Just something that simple?

Most payment gateways provide the ability for you to setup a secure payment form very easily... right along the lines of what you outlined above.

This can be done with Authorize.Net and a number of other gateways, very quickly and easily.

You can use SSL (https) to encrypt transmission of the form submission from customer to server, however if you are going to then simply email the contents to youself... this is bad.

You need to also encrypt the email transmission itself from server to your inbox.

Or, store the form submission in an encrypted database and then just email yourself a notificaiton of the new order. Then log in, decrypt the database and view the order.

Yep, e-mailing a secure form to yourself really kind of defeats the purpose of securing it in the first place.

Like mrzippy says, store it in an archive and have it notify you and then set it to truncate or delete it once you have downloaded it.

Or if you want to email it, use PGP encryption or some other form of encryption so that you aren't sending a plaintext form over the Internet to yourself.

You will need to have the forum SSL.

Yeah, only if you don't encrypt it. For a few things I have CC details emailed to me, GPG protected. I do this on things like billing inquiries ("why did you charge my card") where I request the last 4 digits and one-off bills I send out.
