craftgrrl | Advice on taking credit cards. (Reply)

(I originally posted this on crafty_bizness, but I'm posting here as well in the hopes that more people will see it and hopefully be able to help me since I need to get this taken care of asap. I hope that's okay!)

I've recently received my first "big" order from a woman who is requesting to pay with a credit card. I totally understand her reasons for not wanting to use another form of payment, but now my problem is finding out how to accept credit card payments. Is there a quick way that I can set up some kind of account? I don't need a terminal, necessarially, I just need the ability to "call in" a payment and have the money get to me somehow. I'm not really sure how the whole thing works! Any advice you have would be great. And just so no one says this, paypal is out of the question. She just wants to give me the credit card number and that's it. Thank you!!!
