You should check out this thread if you haven't already - http://www.garagegames.com/community/forums/viewthread/84535

But to answer your question - that would require the aid of a legal professional. It also depends on what territories you want to release in, what payment types you want to leverage, what your plans are for addressing charge-backs, getting and maintaining a merchant account, customer service, and many other things.

Trust me, it's a BIG thing to do and you'll need to speak with or work with experienced people in developing payment gateways. This IS something you can outsource, but you need to throw down a lot of money.
