Rails - Jan 2009 - Create a Trial Period then have an initial charge first time.

I am looking to see of someone has created a setup that will allow for
a trial period of 30 days without collecting payment info up front.

On the 30th day charge one fee (i.e. 4.95 + 9.95 setup fee)

Then charge 4.95 a month after that.

If you know how to do this I would be forever thankful.

Thank You

without collecting info up front i think you can just block the access 
after the 30th day and then ask the user to insert the payments data, 
get the money and then permit again the user to use the service

Thank you for your replay

I am looking to allow the 30 trial without collecting payment data.  Then at
the end of the trial charge the first month plus a setup fee.  Then in the
3rd month, and from that point on, charge only the monthly fee.

Thanks again,

account = Account.new
sleep 30.days.to_i
account.charge_setup_fee!
loop do
  account.charge_monthly_fee!
  sleep 30.days.to_i
end


Seriously, look at ActiveMerchant and Service Merchant 
(http://servicemerchant.org/) and this RailsKit 
(http://railskits.com/recurring_billing/)
