Initially you would take that data and set up the autopayment manually.
If it takes off then you could look at taking your interface and hooking it in directly to your pay service.

If you don’t have a pay service then you have some work to do.
You could contact your company’s bank and see if they can hook you up since you already have the relationship.
Or you can start searching around.

Paypal is probably a safe bet.

You’re now entering the wacky world of data retention and scary sensitive data.
If you’re company is publicly traded or in the banking/healthcare industry you’ll have to tread slowly and contact your legal department before you start accepting those credit card numbers from customers.

You need to be aware of the liability your company has to accept when they start collecting sensitive data from customers. You’re hosting partner better be SAS-70 compliant as well.
