Hay, i just wanted to know if it is possible to have a e-commerce web app written with rails, including the shopping cart and paiement processing ? Thx
Sure, that''s precisely the kind of app Rails is designed for.

Anything can be written in Rails.. its just a framework. Not sure if there are ones already written though. Rails is pretty new, but there might be ones written in Ruby (but I doubt it) On Apr 5, 2005 2:04 PM, Pat Maddox <pergesu-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > Sure, that''s precisely the kind of app Rails is designed for. > > > On Apr 5, 2005 10:57 AM, karim lahrichi <karimlahrichi-PkbjNfxxIARBDgjK7y7TUQ@public.gmane.org> wrote: > > Hay, > > i just wanted to know if it is possible to have a e-commerce web app > written > > with rails, including the shopping cart and paiement processing ? > > Thx > > > > _______________________________________________ > > Rails mailing list > > Rails-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org > > http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails > > > _______________________________________________ > Rails mailing list > Rails-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org > http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails >-- - Ramin http://www.getintothis.com/blog _______________________________________________ Rails mailing list Rails-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails
Yes, a lot of people including me are working on this right now. See: http://www.snowdevil.ca/ for an example of a fully functional e-commerce app. And http://payment.rufy.com/ For a payment processor built in Ruby. -Lucas http://www.rufy.com/ On Apr 5, 2005, at 10:57 AM, karim lahrichi wrote:> Hay, > i just wanted to know if it is possible to have a e-commerce web app > written with rails, including the shopping cart and paiement > processing ? > Thx > > > _______________________________________________ > Rails mailing list > Rails-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org > http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails

We''re (PLANET ARGON) are currently working on a port of pgCart ( http://www.pgcart.com/ ) to Rails and the time frame to delivery is another month or so at the soonest (we have other clients to handle). The new system will work in both PostgreSQL and MySQL..and will not be open source (as in free) at first but will allow our clients to modify it to their hearts desire on a per-site basis. It will be very flexible (as our pgcart system is) and work for a variety of different e-commerce needs (shipping, payment gateways, etc). Feel free to email me off-list, if you''d like to learn a bit more about it. So, to answer the original posters question.. no, there are no shopping carts that you can get and use at this time... but there will be by the middle of the year. -Robby> > On Apr 5, 2005 2:04 PM, Pat Maddox <pergesu-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote: > Sure, that''s precisely the kind of app Rails is designed for. > > > On Apr 5, 2005 10:57 AM, karim lahrichi > <karimlahrichi-PkbjNfxxIARBDgjK7y7TUQ@public.gmane.org> wrote: > > Hay, > > i just wanted to know if it is possible to have a e-commerce > web app written > > with rails, including the shopping cart and paiement > processing ? > > Thx > > > > _______________________________________________ > > Rails mailing list > > Rails-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org > > http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails > > > _______________________________________________ > Rails mailing list > Rails-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org > http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails > > > > -- > - Ramin > http://www.getintothis.com/blog > _______________________________________________ > Rails mailing list > Rails-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org > http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails-- /*************************************** * Robby Russell | Owner.Developer.Geek * PLANET ARGON | www.planetargon.com * Portland, OR | robby-/Lcn8Y7Ot69QmPsQ1CNsNQ@public.gmane.org * 503.351.4730 | blog.planetargon.com * PHP, Ruby, and PostgreSQL Development * http://www.robbyonrails.com/ ****************************************/
Like Pat said, there aren''t any open source or commercial e-commerce rails apps yet. I emphasize the word "yet." I''m working on a shopping cart/catalog app for a client of mine (and I''m sure I''m not the only one), and I''m doing my best to make it as generic as possible so I can extract a general app from the specific one and open source it. It''s tougher than I thought it would be, but, hopefully, I''ll be able to do it and have it done in the next couple months. Wish me luck! :) P.S. - Lucas, thanks for the Payment link. I haven''t gotten to the payment procesing part yet, but this will help a lot! -Nate On Apr 5, 2005 1:19 PM, Robby Russell <robby-/Lcn8Y7Ot69QmPsQ1CNsNQ@public.gmane.org> wrote:> On Tue, 2005-04-05 at 14:07 -0400, Ramin wrote: > > Anything can be written in Rails.. its just a framework.
