Payment system backend required

Apologies for posting here, but I'm at a bit of a loss with this and don't really know the best way to do it. :-)

Basically, a lot of sales for this company I work for take place at the sales centre, but since this is moved around all of the time, it's no where near cost efficient to have a proper on-site credit card reader because the costs for moving it are pretty high.

What they'd like, is to have a page online, that the lady who works in the sales centre can go onto, type in the customer's credit card details and let them place a deposit there and then, to avoid the use of cheques and also avoid the very costly credit card reader.

I'm really unsure of the best way to do this, or even if there is any software already setup for this (or a similar) purpose, so any help or advice would be very much appreciated. Cheers.

They can use the virtual terminal included with most gateways like Authorize.net. You can access it from any computer with a web browser and Internet connection. You can even have multiple people login all at once to process sales.

Ah huge thanks for the reply, that looks like it could be perfect, but I forgot to miss off what's maybe the most important thing; we're based in the UK :)

That still will work for you. Authnet is international AFAIK.
