I just finished installing ActiveMerchant into my app and it's working
beautifully.  It took a little longer than expected to setup because the
merchant gateway we use isn't supported out of the box.  So, I had to take
pieces of the default gateways and construct my own.  In some places,
ActiveMerchant seems a bit overly complex and there's a lot of functionality
that I don't use.  Still, it seems stable and a good choice to support any
future development I need it for.

One thing to watch out for when validating a credit card, ActiveMerchant
will return an Invalid Card error if you pass in a type of "mastercard".  It
expects "master".  Go figure.

If you're looking for a less robust (and simpler) solution, the Payment gem
(http://payment.rubyforge.org/) also seems like a good choice.

We're actually looking to work with ActiveMerchant right now. We want a
centralized billing application that we can tie our web services to through
an API.

Can't say much more than that. We're actually less than a week into the
project. =)

Does anyone know where to find information on the Shopify Payment
Plugin or Gem? I can't seem to recall where I heard about it, may
have been on here actually. Aside from the Shopify stuff, I think e-
commerce and payments systems in general would be a good discussion.

What have your experiences been with payment handling/gateways,
whether it be Gems, Plugins, etc.?
