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

Here''s a link to the Verisign scripts we used... We customized ours a bit but this will get you going. Graciously provided by Jon at Slantwise Design and posted with permission (http://www.slantwisedesign.com), these may make it into some other format someday (gem? Plug in?). Anyway, of course, no warranty with this code, use at your own risk and really no support - you''ll have

Are there any articles anywhere that look at how to properly handle credit card information, the things you need to do to properly store CC info, etc? Joe

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

I am working on an application where users sign up for one of several plans. Each plan has a different monthly fee. There is no long term contract but I would like to bill the users automatically each month unless service is canceled. What credit card gateways would you recommend for use with a rails application? My criteria in order of importance are 1. API that will let me work in

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

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

After months of design and development, we''ve launched our second Rails site, http://www.fatwreck.com (assuming your DNS is updated - the pink site is the old one). The site is for legendary punk rock record label, Fat Wreck Chords and it includes a store. The old site was highly trafficked, with millions of page views per month and we expect this one to be also. So far, the server

Hello Railists and Rubyists, I know that the topic of handling credit card numbers has been expounded before on this list (I''ve searched the archives) but I want to ask the question in a slightly different way, and get your feedback: Previous discussions on the list center around what to do with the card number *after* you have processed the credit card with a payment gateway

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, I am integrating paypal service in my application using Activemerchant.

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

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.

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 http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, i''ve to do a little site which need the paypal''s subscription feature. How can implement it with rails? is there any plugin to do this? I need that every month the payment has been taken, tell the system that has been successfully done and then do something else depending on the payment.

Hello, I tried making a donation via the centos.org website but was blocked by PayPal. I tried today and a few weeks ago. The error I got in both instances was: "The card you entered cannot be used for this payment. Please enter a different credit or debit card number." This strikes me as a strange response. It didn't say the card was declined; it said it "cannot be

I was poking around, but I didn't spot a PayPal link for the t-shirts and/or supporting LLVM. Any follow-up from the pre-meeting discussions? -Gabe

Does anyone have any experience with subscriptions and PayPal? I''m currently weighing up the options of what payment system to use for an upcoming project which is subscription based and am not sure if PayPal is capable of doing what I want and if I need to setup a merchant account instead. Basically it''s the same kind of payment structure as BaseCamp. 3 or 4 accounts which
