== Welcome to Payment Payment is used to process credit cards and electronic cash through merchant accounts. To choose a gateway, require 'payment/gateway_name'. For example, if you want to use Authorize.net, do a require 'payment/authorize_net'. If you would like to use multiple gateways in the same code, simply do a require 'payment' and it will grab each gateway's code for you. Payment was inspired by and has borrowed much of its infrastructure from the Business::OnlinePayment Perl module (http://search.cpan.org/~jasonk/Business-OnlinePayment-2.01/OnlinePayment.pm). If you would like to loosely check the validity of a credit card without using a merchant account, look at the CreditCard module (http://rubyforge.org/projects/creditcard/). == Example require 'payment/authorize_net' transaction = Payment::AuthorizeNet.new ( :login => 'username', :password => 'password', :amount => '49.95', :card_number => '4012888818888', :expiration => '03/10', :first_name => 'John', :last_name => 'Doe' ) begin transaction.submit puts "Card processed successfully: #{transaction.authorization}" rescue puts "Card was rejected: #{transaction.error_message}" end To set default values, setup a file called .payment.yml in the home directory of the user who will be using this library. An example file would be: username: my_account transaction_key: my_trans_key That way there is no need to keep sensitive information in your application's code itself. To specify an alternative configuration file, add a :prefs => '/path/to/file.yml' to the initialization parameters. == Currently Supported Gateways * Authorize.Net (authorize_net) - http://www.authorize.net == Upcoming Gateways * Moneris - http://www.moneris.com * Skipjack - http://www.skipjack.com == Planned Support for the Following Gateways * Trust Commerce - http://www.trustcommerce.com * Verisign Payflow Pro - http://www.verisign.com * Cardstream - http://www.cardstream.com * Beanstream - http://www.beanstream.com * Vital - http://www.vitalps.com * Merchant Commerce - http://www.innuity.com * iAuthorizer - http://www.iauthorizer.com * Electronic Clearing House, Inc. - http://www.echo-inc.com * Bank of America eStores - http://www.bankofamerica.com * Network1Financial - http://www.eftsecure.com * eSec - http://www.esecpayments.com.au * Ingenico OCV - http://www.ingenico.com.au * St.George IPG - https://www.ipg.stgeorge.com.au * Jettis - http://www.jettis.com * PaymentsGateway.Net - http://www.paymentsgateway.net * PayConnect - http://www.paymentone.com * Secure Hosting UPG - http://www.securehosting.com == About Author:: Lucas Carlson (mailto:lucas@rufy.com) Copyright:: Copyright (c) 2005 Lucas Carlson License:: Distributes under the same terms as Ruby
