I charge my customers through PayPal, but recently faced a fraud which previously had only heard about. Somebody registered a few accounts, paid online with paypal (as my service is only prepaid) and started making expensive long distance calls. In fact the IP registering the accounts was from Florida, and IPs making calls were from Africa. After about 20 minutes the first payment was reversed.

Hi, I''m setting up a site that will bill on a monthly basis. I would rather not have to worry about storing customer credit card information. Does anyone have recommendations on payment processors that offer monthly billing services? I don''t want to go the paypal route as I want the user to stay on the site. I''m hoping to find an API to integrate with. I have

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? -- Posted via

Ok, I''m new to the world of actually charging for software, and it''s taken me a full month to decide how to charge in a way that doesn''t make me sleep with difficulty at nights. :) If someone can look at this and verify I''m on the right track or give any hints/tips, I''d greatly appreciate it. Basically, I want each user to be able to apply

Hi all. I have never implemented online payment and it''s the only thing that keeps me from accepting a project for a UK based client. (I must reply quickly!) While I can afford spending an extra week - or 2 - to learn/try/tune the payment system, I must be sure to succeed before I accept the contract. If you''ve already been through that path, any hints, links and/or

What''s a good way to process credit cards from our Rails application? I like PayPal because of it''s name recognition but I don''t like the fact that the user must leave our site; we are hoping for a tightly integrated look-and-feel. We might also offer both, PayPal and our own major credit card processing (see attached example screen shot). I''ve heard of other

Has anyone any experience of getting the Paypal plug in to work? I''ve set myself up on the Paypal sandbox, I''ve setup my sending and receiving accounts, i''ve got the Paypal button on my view, I can go and make payments ok, but I can''t get the Instant Payment Notification part to work. At the end of the payment process the user is left in a paypal screen

Has anyone been able to make direct API calls to PayPal in currencies other than USD? I get an error message "The currency code submitted is not supported. Check the currency code and try again." I''m using the PayPal plugin for Rails. I can successfully transact in USD, but not AUD (Australian Dollars). Cheers, Dan

Several years ago, before PHP introduced their built-in pfpro functions, I rolled my own crappy interface, which of course delegated to the commandline payflow client. I could certainly do the same in Ruby today. Thinking back on it, I realized at the time, and realize again now, that delegating this functionality to a commandline app is a security risk unless you''re the *only* user on

Hello everyone, I am looking for a way to pass off a simple payment to paypal using our own interface. I understand that this requires making full use of Paypal''s API since we won''t be using their shopping cart or anything. I found the article by Pranav Bihari on his site and in the Wiki on using SOAP4R and the paypal WSDL file to interface with paypal web services, but I

Hi, Just wondering if anyone has already developed a mocking approach to stub out the Paypal interface so that one can test on an internal PC which doesn''t provide a means for PayPal to callback to your webserver? (i.e. once the app is deployed to the hosting provider it would then work as PayPal could then hit the application with the specified URL). Anyone already solved this? Would

While talking about my RailsConf presentation with Ben Wiseley, he suggested writing a book on the same topic... so I did! The Money Train is an e-book about building e-commerce sites using Ruby on Rails. Read my blog entry about it at http://www.bencurtis.com/archives/ 2006/06/rails-e-commerce-e-book/ or head to http:// www.agilewebdevelopment.com/book to dive right in. As always, a big
