I am developing a restaurant application in that i want to integerate credit card payment for ordered items.
Thanks.
There are many payment gateways that allow access to api's for mobile platforms these days, a few to get you started:
JudoPay: https://www.judopay.com/docs
PayPal: https://developer.paypal.com/docs/integration/mobile/mobile-sdk-overview/
Payscape: https://www.payscape.com/mobile-payments.php
It should be noted, that hardly any (if any at all) of these payment gateway services will be free. You'll often find that you'll pay a monthly charge, or a monthly charge + % of transactions, or just a % of each transaction, that'll have to be something you research yourself, and decide upon.
As for accepting payment in your application, well, each payment gateway I've listed, will have an API and various examples on how to implement such things, so I wont go in to detail, plus, I don't want to do all the work for you! ;)
Failing that, if none of the info I've listed above is any help to you, might I suggest: "mobile payment gateways with api" as a starting Google search. Brought up hundreds of results. Can't guarantee that any of good, well known or indeed reliable, but that'll be something you'll have to find out.
Hope this helps.
Get a Payment Service Provider. Also think about other solutions like PayPal.
For other solutions I named PayPal, and it also depends in which country are you operating. For example in Germany you can use Click&Buy. The advantage of this approach is that users can pay simply by following several clicks (after login). Of course the PSP is a paid service. From technical perspective most of the providers offer some kind of REST api, so in the simplest words, the payment happens by HTTP redirects and backend HTTP callbacks.

Basic overview of this app isn't new or ground breaking. most importantly it's centered around the google maps api using json. That part I have under control, i have studied the google maps api up and down.
The issue I am having is figuring out how to create users for the app. I need to not only allow(require) users to create a profile, but for them to be able to add and view points on the map. Again I am not concerned about the map, only the user profiles.
I have read that javascript isn't secure enough to use to create users (by the way i can't figure out the term I'm looking for ie. user profiles? user area? users? i don't know how to phrase it) but I know that I would like to store the data from the user as json so that I can easily call it. I could say that I am considering using java or ruby on rails but the truth is I don't know the first thing about what I am trying to do (hence not being able to find what I am looking for). I would also like to use a titanium like structure so as to make it friendly for all platforms.
payments will be involved so it needs to be secure, but the data also needs to be usable on the web. i'd like to allow the user to access there product and all of the same functionailty that comes with it on the website (like facebook).
I'm just looking for a lead or something that will help me to find the info I need. if you know what you are talking about and you want to write me a book on the matter please do so. I've been searching for days and can't find what I'm looking for.
You could always use Google's OAuth2 method for performing authentication, which should also make it easy to integrate Google Wallet for payment stuff. As for saving data regarding the user, since you are relying on OAuth2 for your authentication you could just keep track of their Google account (e.g., gmail address) and the OAuth2 Refresh Token. The refresh token would allow you to re-authenticate the OAuth2 session without requiring additional user authentication.
Note: The OAuth2 Refresh Token will only be returned the first time the user grants your application access. Check out these pages:
https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2
https://developers.google.com/wallet/
Hope this is helpful.

Do i need to pay a developer's fee of 99$ per annum if i want to list my web app on the apple web app store, or any other place for that matter (android etc.)?
Can i ask user to come and pay for new features on my site through this web app? will I be breaching some archaic policy by doing that?
This web app is complete on its own but user might want to have extra features which come at a price of course!
Which merchant is the best for my basic needs. paypal comes to mind but is it my only option?
this is my hobby. I have a separate day time job which does not involve software development. what do i need to do as far as paying taxes (if any) is concerned. am i liable to pay taxes?
I do not want to create my own company etc. just because im developing this web app.
By the way, if you intend to reply on tax-related questions, please understand I reside in England.
Since you're doing a web app I believe that you can get listed in the Apple Web App listings by just being a safari developer, which is free. Im not sure that android has such a place or Windows Mobile either which means your going to have to do a lot of the marketing of your web app yourself.
In this case, you are not going to be bound by any of the "Laws" that govern the App Store, Android, or Windows Marketplace. You can charge whatever you want to "featured" functionality and nobody will scoff.
As far as your taxes are concerned. You should talk to an accountant about any income that comes from the app as well as having to charge any sort of sales tax.
Hope this answers your questions. Good luck with your app.

Is there any service or api that will allow me to accept credit card payments within my iphone and android apps?
I can't find anything using an extensive google search.
Will servies like sage or similar work at all? Will I need a webview?
Thanks
There are a few options out there, but the cheapest and easiest solution seems to be ZooZ. iOS and Android compatible, ZooZ's 3 lines of code monetizes your app in minutes. Users can pay with credit cards or PayPal.
The biggest advantages of ZooZ are that your user always stays within your app and won't have to re-enter payment details in the future, resulting in faster processing and higher conversion rates.
Of course you can always build your own credit card processing platform, but considering the challenges of security, merchant accounts, and PCI compliance, it's probably not worth the headache.
Full disclosure: I have the privilege of working at ZooZ :)
Paypal works
https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_render-content&content_ID=developer/library_documentation
CTRL+F "ios"
About halfway down the page.
And
PayPal API for iOS - allowed?
There is this: https://developer.mastercard.com but the payments API is not quite in production.
We have an API you can embed into your iOS app that will enable credit card swiping and processing from within your app. We expect to have the same available for Android apps late 1Q 2012. For details visit http://developers.moblized.com.
BrainTree seems the easiest way to integrate with Mobile app.It consists of complementary client and server SDK.
And there's also Square/SquareUp.

I was wondering if I ever need to collect any kind of user data (like their location, which I don't think I should collect now, their IMEI, their google account, app usage time etc), then how much of it I can collect without doing so illegally.
I know there will be issues with all of them, but since I couldn't find any document or question on SO, addressing this topic, telling me what kind of data I can collect, I am here with a question.
Hope to get nice answers.
Wish to mark it as a community wiki.
Without the user knowing it?
NONE.

I wish to sell paid applications via Android Market, however my country (Slovakia) is not in the list of entitled countries(http://market.android.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=150324).
Could I temporarily overcome this limitation by getting a bank account and a paycard from a bank within the country(Austria in my case) entitled for Android Market merchandise?
Do you know, whether the Android Market merchants are allowed to use the store based on the location of their bank, their residence encoded in the card, or the internet connection location?
Solving this would help many others wishing to distribute paid apps but their country has not yet been allowed for Android Market merchandise.
I think technically you could just open a bank account in an entitled country, lie about your address and use that to take payments, but there might be legal issues around this.
What could be a solution is to open a company too and register that legal entity as a developer, but unless you anticipate massive sales this might be a bit too much effort, even with all the administration easing you get if you do it in an other EU country.
There is really no direct way to sell apps on Android Market if your country is not listed there. However, you can check out www.androidconnector.com, a US based company that will help you with just that.
