Is there a way to add an area for a customer's credit card information on the no gateway forms? Because I have set it up where the credit card number gets sent to me and i process it myself.

This is a question that raises many red flags.

You should never send credit card information through email or store it in your database.

Not only is this a bad idea, but in many cases it is illegal.

Email is a horribly insecure form of communication, you should not send sensitive information through email.

If you are going to process the transaction yourself, you should call the customer, and get the credit card information from them over the phone.

okay

So I would have to go through a gateway to do the credit card processing?

Yes, you should use a gateway for credit card processing.
