After months of design and development, we’ve launched our second Rails  
site, [http://www.fatwreck.com](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 isn’t even  
breaking a  
sweat.

Thank you Rails crew! The project wouldn’t have been as fun without you.

Congratulation Guys. This site was great before Rails (because of the  
bands). But now you’ve build a great site based on an even greater  
technology.

Great job. I dig it.

It looks great, and has very original feel.

Definitely interested in this question, as well…

Sorry, I forgot to respond to this.

This site uses Verisign Payflow Pro.

The connection is made using their command line scripts. We created some  
based heavily on some scripts that came from this list.

Works pretty darn well actually.

How do you connect your store to the payment system and to the merchant  
account at the  
bank?

Oooh. Would you be willing to share your Payflow code? I’ll be rewriting  
an  
ecommerce app next spring, and I’d love to not have to reinvent a wheel  
you’ve already created 😉

Actually, it’d be great to integrate it into the Payment gem.

Well, it works totally different than the Payment gem code for

> **[Payment processing: Accept payments anywhere | Authorize.net](https://www.authorize.net/)**
>
> Authorize.net supports payment processing by helping small businesses accept credit card and eCheck payments online, in person, via mobile devices, and more.

(which I used in another project and also works well).

I have no problem with it, only issue is that it is heavily based on  
code I  
got from someone else so I need to ask first.

Keep in touch with me and weÂ¹ll get this figured out.
