Paypal is perfect for his needs.  They provide an API for use with PHP and
are easy to set up and use.

Yes, there are quite a lot, but how do we know if such and such site
is a real one?  Or an honest one?  Just like phishing sites are
proliferating, I think we'd be careful with anything found in the Net.
Don't you agree?

When the company I work for sets up a payment gateway for a client we
always have the client set up the account through their bank.  Each
bank has different payment gateway companies they are willing to work
with.  Usually we are able to get a few choices from the bank and keep
it within the 3 or so gateways we support with our current e-commerce
solution.

Hope that helps!

He's not selling any physical product.  He's selling services and

tell him this: "never ever ever ever so much as accept a creditcard number
as input to any of his scripts let alone store it somewhere - leave that to
the payment provider who has the expertise, secure (hopefully) system and 
massive
liability fund to be able to deal with such things professionally."

payment provider is probably a more used term. but yes her needs one of those.
one example is paypal - there are plenty of others.
