The process is not very difficult. Set up a payment gateway and a merchant account.
1) The payment gateway is the service you use to verify the available credit. Verisign is a good service, and so is Stacy Young's company (sfcommerce.com). Call them to set up an account, and they will ask you about the next step. 2) A merchant account is the account the money goes into. They have a discount rate, a per-transaction charge, and a provider charge - these vary from service to service. Your own bank account may be able to act as a merchant account, so call your bank about this. Usually, the payment gateway will offer you something in terms of code to integrate with their network. I like Verisign because they give you a CF custom tag that works splendidly.
