So I know PayPal has Payments Pro and Google has an interface that works like a payment gateway. All they require to set up is a shopping cart, and I know there are tons, like OSCommerce, Monster, X-Cart, etc.
But my situation is that I don't sell products, so I don't need a big traditional cart, with 'add to cart' and lots of products.
Instead, I just need to (a) display a page on my site to the client and take CC payment right there and (b) allow them to deposit funds in advance for our services, where they can select the amt to deposit.
I know this could be done with a customized API or something, but it's expensive / complicated to do this. I'd like to use a free shopping cart to do it, but I don't know which ones to use. Does anyone know the easiest way to take payments, syncing the html up with Paypal or Checkout?
Is there a shopping cart that has this sort of manual CC payment setup option? I've been researching forever and would LOVE any advice you can give.

Try using paypal. They have section where you can accept credit card payments from people and they dont have to be paypal members to send you money. I will however if you decide to use paypal, suggest for you to take your money out of the account quickly. I used to leave my money there so i can earn interest. One day someone bought many things from me and then claimed i did not send them and paypal will give them their money back without consulting you. If you use it smart, paypal is a good service.

There is a solution to your situation. You need simple a simple shopping cart and a merchant account. Merchant accounts are less expensive than google or paypal and provide you with more processing options. With a merchant account your credit card sales are automatically deposited into your account in 48hrs.

DO NOT USE PAYPAL YOU WILL EVENTUALLY FIND YOURSELF IN THE HOLE. Why worry about withdrawing your money and your funds do not gain any interest at all. Google send your money directly to your bank
I started using Goolge and it has been great for now I am just sending email invoices since eBay doesn't allow them on their site. They fight for you on charge backs and right now they are not charging any fees until the end of the year. It is all free for now!!!!!
They have several different ways that you can integrate a shopping cart or use buy now buttons only. There is also a forum you can go to to ask questions. Sometimes admin listens in and answers your questions but most of the time it is us spreading what we know and have experienced.
here is a link tot he merchant forum: http://groups.google.com/group/google-checkout-merchants-forum/topics

The best way is through bid pay. They charge the client if they want your product. Also you have pay pal, but they are very difficult to work with if you don't have a open account. Other services will be to have your web developer establish a page with encrypted security for you, is a little more expensive but everything will be to you. The best thing with pay pal is that if you open a personal account there will be no charge to you or the payee.

Open an account with Paypal and it becomes simple. PayPal is one of the most popular online money transfer systems widely used for online auctions, pay to surf programs, e-books and purchase of low value goods. It is now a part of the online auction website eBay. More details available at http://www.money-transfer.in/paypalindia.html
