You need to enable one of the preinstalled payment modules via admin (ie authorize.net), or to take another one from the contributions

 

Do do this, you need to have first an account at the payment gateway page, so you need to visit their website and create one. You will get some data from there, like passwords etc, that you need to enter into the osCommerce module (whatever you choose) during enabling it

 

I would spend some time on the various payment gateways pages to see what they offer and what the conditions are. Also look at the forum for problems other people have with this or that before your decission

If you are in need of a fast solution and/or haven't worked with a payment gateway before, I would recommend making an account at PayPal.com and use PayPal Payments Standard.

 

Pros

- You don't need SSL

- Very fast to set up

- Easier than more advanced, more integrated methods

- Most internet users are familiar with PayPal

- You don't need a PayPal Pro account, so it's free (aside from per transaction fees)

 

Cons

- Your customers will be taken away from your site to PayPal.com to make payment

(they will be returned to your site after they pay)
