I know the point of rails is to make things so easy that you don’t need  
to do this, but I have a friend of mine that wants to sell t-shirts. I  
need a simple / easy to set up a store suite for rails. Is there  
anything like this? If not what other non-ruby suites would you  
recommend?

Thanks for your help.

I picked up “Beginning Ruby on Rails e-comerce” which seems to have  
sections on integrating with payment services. I thought it covered  
using an e-comerce framework, but on review it looks like it is more  
from scratch than that.
