Rails - Jan 2006 - Experiences w /payment gateways and credit card processing?

I wanted to know if anyone had any good experiences with particular 
payment gateways and Rails? and what did it take to integrate?

My current client uses PayPal for the credit card payment processing, 
and would like to stay with them, if possible. So has anyone had any 
experiences with integrating with PayPal?

I''d love to hear who provides your payment services?

Daniel,

I use Linkpoint, and I''ve also used Authorize.net. I wasn''t
happy
with Authorize.net because the API doesn''t provide a way to set up  
recurring transactions (despite what they tell you). Linkpoint''s API  
is much more powerful and does support recurring transactions. I''m  
still getting it set up though, so whether it works or not is up for  
grabs. :)

To interface with the gateway, ActiveMerchant is probably your best  
choice. The gateway support is still spotty, with support for  
Moneris, Authorize.net, and I think TrustCommerce. It seems fairly  
easy to implement new gateways though. I''m working with Mark Anderson  
on a module for Linkpoint (if anyone wants to help that would be great).

There is also a very simple module for Linkpoint called Transact:

I''ve now done two Rails sites that used external payment gateways, one
with
Authorize.net and another with Verisign PayFlow Pro.

The former has Ruby integration in the ''payment'' gem, the
second does not
and has to be cobbled together using native binaries, script files, etc...

But... They both work just fine... Authorize is easier to get going with a
Ruby setup today.

Linkpoint seemed a good API.  How can I join the project to create a 
Linkpoint  module?
