For transfering data from the shopper to the server, just setup SSL. No additional programming necessary.

If you don't want cookies, then there are various ways to do the same thing. All of them suck to some degree or another (I include cookies in this statement). One way is to have a unique session ID (which you would otherwise put in a cookie) and have it posted as a parameter via a hidden form field or the link.

For sending the credit cards from your server to the people who need to process the order, I suggest e-mail using Crypt::OpenPGP and setup the order processing people with GnuPG. I've done this with several people where I work, and I find that they can at least do the simple decryption as long as you've walked them through it and stood over their shoulder while the keys are being created. Not necessarily the best solution, though for us it's currently our only option until we can afford to develop something better.
