Credit Cards and checkout process

Hi-

I have a small business that wants a shopping cart that handles credit
cards. In actual fact they would manually verify the credit card offline but
i need to get them the card details from the user securely, and I dont want
to store the credit details at all.

In my websites orders are written to a database and accessed by a customer
service team in a special permission based admin area. Without storing the
credit card info how can i pass the credit card info on for processing. I
have seen some third party solutions send an encrypted one off email with
the credit card info to a generic customer service email address. Customer
service would then match the credit card info to an order. I guess this
would create problems if the email failed for some reason the customer
would have to be contacted.

Given the requirements has anyone got any suggestions for a better technique
or process flow, email encryption techniques? Are there any cf tags that can
help me send an encrpted email and provide a key for me to open the emails
with.

Any security issues i should (need) to know about. Naturally the order
checkout process would take place on https
