Make sure you guard against SQL exploits, try googling for "SQL
Injection"
as you can potentially do lots of "nasty things" to your database
and / or
server even if you're going over a secure link :-)

The basic HTTPS setup should be straightforward, you can create your own
certificate, but if you accepting beer tokens, then you'll probably want to
go with something like verisign.
