credit-card

I'd like to automatically charge my members a variable amount of money based on the services they use on my website. They would accumulate a balance owing, and then every week they would be charged for that amount. Is there a way I can do this without having to store their credit card information in my database?

(Similar to my last question, but I just realized I don't really want to go through the headaches and liability issues of having to safely store CC info)
