You have a couple of options.
Many Internet providers offer a checkout system for free or at minimal cost for the sites that they host. Mine does, although I don’t use it because I don’t sell anything.
If you are selling as an eBay shop, or even if you don’t, then you can use PayPal for checking out and PayPal automatically accepts credit cards including Amex.
You can use a proprietary shopping basket checkout system through Yahoo or otherwise. Here’s a specimen:
I found it by Googling . There are a number of firms doing the same thing.
You can probably do it cheaper, maybe for free, with Yahoo! directly. Here’t the link for that:
I don’t think you ought to deal with credit card companies directly. You could easily get scammed by fraudsters using stolen or fake cards. The professionals take some or all of the risk off your hands, and they can check online for bad cards, and check addresses and CVV numbers and expiration dates.
Be careful: I would be cautious about shipping anything abroad except to Canada. And don’t give refunds — especially for overpayments — until your bank tells you the money is cleared “without recourse”, meaning no chargeback is possible.
Google and learn a bit about Internet scams, how even certified and cashiers checks, US postal money orders and Wal-Mart money orders are faked. Especially from overseas.

Paypal is easy to setup for payment on your site and widely used on the internet. Try that instead of CC payment. Is cheaper for you as well.

You could open a paypal account, get a program called “paylock generator”, which would make a paynow button from paypal. you could open a clickbank account. You could sign up for a shopping cart service that processes credit card payments for you. Or you could set it up with your bank although that would be the most expensive way.
