I just built a store in rails with active merchant - [authorize.net](http://authorize.net).  
Everything works great except international payments always get  
declined.

Does anyone have any recommendations on resources to checkout or know  
anything that might be helpful?

thanks

I’d guess it might be a limitation of your merchant account. Can you  
do an international transaction manually through the [authorize.net](http://authorize.net)  
‘virtual terminal’?
