Newbie .. authorize.net

Rails
1

I am very new to RoR. I need to do:

  1. credit card authorization only
    and / or
  2. charge the credit card
    via the Authorize.net payment gateway via RoR?

QUESTION 1.

I came across the payment module available as a ruby gem. I am wondering
if anyone has used this gem in a real life application to do the above?

The other problem was that on this page:
http://rubyforge.org/docman/view.php/516/134/files/lib/payment/authorize_net_rb.html
at the very bottom they have the links to:
Class Payment::AuthorizeNet
Class Payment::Base
Class Payment::PaymentError

QUESTION 2.

Clicking them takes you back to the same page. I am wondering as to how
does one go about seeing the ruby documentation for those classes?

QUESTION 3.

The example they show on that page does not do a check on the customer’s
credit card address. I am wondering if the payment module allows you to
do that?

QUESTION 4.

Is there a authorize.net (AIM) integration with RoR howto out there that
I am missing?

I would really like input on this since I am deciding if I should go
forward with doing an online webstore in RoR or not.

Thanks.

For the proper docs for payment gem try: http://payment.rubyforge.org/

There is also a new option, supposedly that shopify uses: Active
