I'm setting up a website for a local charity, and I have it in mind to set it up for people to make donations online (isn't that the point?). I've never done this, however, and I don't have any idea how to start. Are there any services (Paypal-esque perhaps) that are set up to handle this? Are there any software packages already written specifically for this purpose? What's involved in personally processing credit card donations, or would we be better off using a service as mentioned? I have no experience with this, either with making donations online or receiving them, or with any brand of e-commerce, so any advice at all would be appreciated.
