Which do you guys prefer for credit card processing? Both look like they get the job done. -- Is there any consensus on which one is better? Are there other credit card processing solutions I''m not aware of? Any thoughts or suggestions would be most welcome. Thanks! : ) Jason -- Posted via ruby-forum.com.

I needed to add CC processing to my site about three months ago. Gave AM a shot, but wasn''t really able to get it working. The documentation doesn''t actually match up with the library itself, so don''t count on that. Next stop was to look at the unit tests to see how it should be used...unfortunately those don''t pass. So there''s no real example of how you should use it. There are lots of little inconsistencies in it. I can''t remember the specifics off the top of my head, but one of them had to do with how names were supposed to be set and used on the credit card. Apparently Shopify uses it in production, so perhaps I''m just stupid or something. In the end though, I just wrote my own library, using a ton of code from AM. Be prepared to spends lots of time with it though if you use it out of the box. Pat
depends which vendor you need to use for processing. i had to use Verisign, so AM wouldn''t work. i haven'' tried Payment, but I found this: livemetric.com/opensource/pfpro4r and slantwisedesign.com/articles/view/2 which helped me get started in writing a class to deal with Verisign. ed On 8/1/06, Pat Maddox <pergesu@gmail.com> wrote:> > On 8/1/06, Jason Tuttle <jason@gothamcitymacs.com> wrote: > > Which do you guys prefer for credit card processing? > > > > Both look like they get the job done. -- Is there any consensus on which > > one is better?
