Eric,

First of all you will need a merchant account which accepts online processing to
handle the credit card transactions. Each account provider will have different
requirements, but you should be able to add them. In fact, some (most?) will
provide sample code.

Sorry, I can't recommend anyone in your area. Here in the U.S., to use banks,
etc. (often the lowest rates) you need to show you have been in business for a
while (i.e. registered business name, bank accounts, etc.). There are others
which don't have this requirement, but they generally charge higher rates.
