The stock module is for testing only. You need a payment gateway and merchant account. Search google for both terms, there is lots of good info.

Pick a merchant account provider that has an existing oscommerce module.

The standard credit card module that comes with osCommerce is for testing only -- do not use it for a live store! It does not actually process the payment; rather, it just performs some basic checks on the number and expiration date, then automatically approves the transaction. And the credit card information is stored in plain-text in the database, so use something like 4111 1111 1111 1111 instead of a real number.

 

The module I'm referring to is named "Credit Card (Not For Production Use)" in the osCommerce admin pages.

 

To process credit cards, you need to have an account with a real-life credit card processor such as PayPal or authorize.net. Then you use the appropriate module to do the processing. Depending on who you go with, you may need to download the module as a plug-in from the osCommerce website.
