Hi everyone, I wonder what kind of plugins can be installed to combine RoR and online payment methods such as using Credit Cards or Paypal, etc? Or must we create our own way to do the online payment? Thanks in advance. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

That way, PNP manages their account, provides a call center, etc. You really don''t want to do all that. Then each time the user requests your premium services, you contact PNP as a webservice to see if their account is up to date. If it is, you log the user into their features, and PNP pays you. No moving parts. Almost no programming. And no endless customer support problems. -- Phlip http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/9780596510657/ "Test Driven Ajax (on Rails)" assert_xpath, assert_javascript, & assert_ajax --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I use Google Checkout for my RoR developed e-commerce site ( http://www.joyli.net). I modified this ruby gem: http://rubyforge.org/projects/checkout/ And everything has worked out great. Google Checkout is an interesting choice because they aren''t charging anything from now through the end of the year. Even when they do start charging, their published rates are lower than many other alternatives I''ve seen.
