OT: Setting up Paypal/Merchant processing

Ruby
1

Hi is there a easy way for me to use the paypal merchant system though
Ruby? I currently have a merchant account with paypal and would like to
setup an automate payment processing system on one of my sites.

If anyone is using something better than paypal, that is secure,
reliable and more cost effective please share, thanks!

It looks like Paypal offers an interface and some sample code for Ruby
on their SDK site:
https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_render-content&content_ID=developer/library_download_sdks

Google is your friend, as always…

If it’s a Rails app, the activemerchant plugin is quite popular and
well documented. If not a rails app it might be adaptable.

If your site has a subscription based business model, you might also
want to have a look at spreedly http://spreedly.com/

yes it’s is going to be rails based, good to know I can do this with
activemerchant. i heard about it but never needed to look into it until
now.

On this topic, does the ActiveMerchant gem cover the recent PayPal ‘X’
split
payments options?
Does such an upgrade to PayPal api allow better options supporting
subscriptions?
