I don't know if this is the sort of thing that you were thinking of,
but here I go.
PayPal <http://paypal.com> has a way to set a link to click on to pay
for items via their service.
I haven't set it up myself, although one of my friends (at Hearse
Records <http://hearse.com.au> ) set up his site to sell a compliation
CD from <http://hearse.com.au/products.html> which uses their system.

I hope that this gives and idea on how to set up your payment system.
