Yes, I would not use makeRequest to transmit credit card information -
your best bet is to open an iframe to a https-protected payment
form.

You can use makeRequest to establish a session, though.  Basically, do
a signed makeRequest call to http://yoursite.com/getsession which
should validate the signed makeRequest call, create a new session and
store the viewer_id in the session, and return the session ID
number.   Then open an iframe or popup to http*s*://yoursite.com/
payments?session_id=<session_id> to let the user input payment.  Make
sure that the session is fairly short lived, though (you may want to
return a one time use token identifying the session, instead of the
session id itself).
