PayPal integration with Rails shopping cart

Hello everyone,

I have 3 main questions and they are:

  1. Is it possible to integrate the PayPal payment gateway within our
    website? My client doesn’t want the customer to be directed to the
    PayPal website to complete the transaction.

  2. I tried integrating the ‘Ruby PayPal Gem’ from
    HugeDomains.com
    but ran into some issues. I am using the PayPal SOAP API on Rails
    1.2.5. I have a PayPal Pro and Developer Account but I did not get
    sandbox_api.crt, sandbox_api.key, live_api.crt and live_api.key as
    required for this installation.

My questions are a) Is this library compatible with Rails 1.2.5? and
b) Could someone direct me to a good tutorial of installing this gem?

  1. Is there a way to work with Active Merchant on Rails 1.2.5 because
    I think it is only compatible with the latest version?

I’ve been trying to crack this since the last 2 days and I am
desperate to get this going. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

It is if you have one of their more expensive (paypal) accounts.

Perhaps you’re required to generate your own–see
http://dist.leetsoft.com/api/paypal/
the example with some
(for example)
’ openssl req -new -key business_key.pem -x509 -days 3650 -out
business_cert.pem’
in there (equivalent to generating *.key??? maybe?

It should work with 1.2.5, I’d imagine–haven’t ever done it.

    Yeah should integrate nicely. ActiveMerchant should make it easy.
