#####Dependencies Amazon AWS S3 Bucket for images To integrate the Paperclip gem with image upload on Heroku, we use an AWS S3 bucket to store our images. You will need to create a bucket (free) on S3, and then export the following keys to your environment: AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, and S3_BUCKET_NAME

Stripe for Payment integration To integrate credit card payments, we used Stripe. In order for your local copy to process payments correctly, you will need to sign up for a free Stripe account, visit your account settings, and export the following API keys to your environment: SECRET_KEY and PUBLISHABLE_KEY

SendGrid for ActionMailer integration To integrate email on account creation and payment success, we use the SendGrid API. In order for this to function correctly, you must create a SendGrid account, and set your environment variables with the following: SENDGRID_USERNAME and SENDGRID_PASSWORD.

###Process

We used Pivotal Tracker in order to structure our project. We wrote user stories that we converted into tests, using BDD with RSpec and Capybara in order to drive development.

####Extraction of External Services

We extracted Stripe into its own model, and switch to the development processor in our development and testing environments in order to speed up the development process.
