Rails - Jul 2006 - Credit card processing through Australian gateways (eway etc)

Hi there

Has anyone out there embarked on credit card processing in a Rails app
through Australian gateways such as eway?

I''m aware of Payment and ActiveMerchant, but neither support
Australian gateways.

It''s a little beyond me right now to hack these to work with eway.

Any clues would be appreciated here.

You might just implement it yourself.  Most of the api''s are fairly
simple.  For a gateway that just accepts and http POST like a cgi
script, you can probably write it in 50 lines or so.  The xml api''s
take a bit more work.

Perhaps PayPal is a temporary option so at least you can receive money 
:)

Just learnt of a patch to ActiveMerchant for eway.com.au:
