This is just a quick announcement to let you know that we have released ActiveMerchant 1.0.0 and created a new homepage for the project at [http://activemerchant.org](http://activemerchant.org). The homepage has links to all relevant information such as the source code, documentation, mailing list, gems, etc. ActiveMerchant currently supports the following gateways: [Authorize.net](http://Authorize.net), eWay, LinkPoint, Moneris, Psigate, PayPal Payflow Pro, PayPal Website Payments Standard, PayPal Website Payments Pro US, PayPal Website Payments Pro UK, TrustCommerce, USA ePay, Chronopay, Nochex, and Banca Sella GestPay What does it look like? creditcard = ActiveMerchant::Billing::CreditCard.new( :type =\> ‘visa’ :number =\> ‘4242424242424242’, :month =\> 8, :year =\> 2009, :first\_name =\> ‘Bob’, :last\_name =\> ‘Bobsen’ ) if creditcard.valid? # Create a gateway object to the [Authorize.net](http://Authorize.net) service gateway = ActiveMerchant::Billing::AuthorizeNetGateway.new # Authorize for 10 dollars (1000 cents) response = gateway.authorize(1000, creditcard) if response.success? ``` # Capture the money right away gateway.capture(1000, response.authorization) ``` else raise StandardError, response.message end end Please note that we have switched the svn repository over to Google Code and there will no longer be any more updates to the old repository. We will leave the old repository in place for now, but we will be taking down sometime in the near future. In the future we also hope to beef up the documentation, including some tutorials, so that new users can get started more quickly. ---

This part on the hompage that states “is now used in most modern Ruby applications which deal with financial transactions”, where exactly are you drawing that conclusion from? I’m genuinely curious as e-commerce has been one of the more important hurdles to overcome with Rubyonrails adoption at the otherwise very productive PHP shop I work at. Thanks, ---

ActiveMerchant looks very cool, but honestly that sounds like marketing speak to me. Is there any hard data behind that? If so, it’d be great to have a link to a list of who’s using it (for reference and also to promote ActiveMerchant). If not, maybe it shouldn’t be there. ---
