Does anyone know of any good resources for getting ActiveMerchant up and  
running? I’m trying to get it set up via Paypal Pro and i can’t find  
detailed, clear directions on setting it up. It’s hard to know where to  
put what, where paypal login info goes, and how to get the certificate  
files from paypal and where they go (if I even need them).

Anyone have any experience with this stuff?

Good timing, perhaps. ActiveMerchant 1.0.0 was just announced, with a  
home page here:

[http://www.activemerchant.org/](http://www.activemerchant.org/)

At that page, there’s a link, Discussion, to a Google group. I’d ask  
questions there.
