Common Payment Interface

I think there's the need to create a common interface for processing credit card transactions on websites and possible other places.  It would probably have to be some type of service where a company provides one way to communicate with Visa, Amex, etc., Google, "Next Whatever", etc.

 

I was just on ShoeBuy.com and that have a very wide selection for payment options and it got me thinking that every website selling something has this same common problem, so every site should do the same work and code of all various formats.

 

I'm not a web guy and I'm sure there's some of this already going on but probably not to the fully integrated vision I have.
