PayPal Gem

by on February 17, 2007

The team at ELC was one of the first to create Integration methods to PayPal from Ruby on Rails applications, using a Rails Gem that is still in use today. It's open source, it's free, it helps you start collecting funds with PayPal. This library allows PayPal Premier and Business account owners to process credit card transactions directly from within Ruby. In no time at all, your RoR site can be seamlessly processing credit cards

This makes credit card processing seamless to the user and allows developers to completely customize their billing process.

Here's some handy factoids about the Gem:

• It's open source, via the LGPL license
• Supports DoDirectPaymentRequest
• Installs under the Ruby on Rails vendor/plugin directory
• Full installation instructions are available in the project README
