For anyone out there (especially those of you riding the rails), what payment processing gateway have you/do you use? Would you recommend it to someone else?<p>Thanks.
I've used many different payment processors both for my own ventures and for my day jobs.<p>Recommended: Google Payments<p>Tepid: Paypal, FirePay<p>Not Recommended: Authorize.NET, TotalTrans, 2Checkout.com<p>Paypal was the only one I'd done using Rails (the rest with PHP). It was a pain in the ass, but it was also 2005 and Rails was at version 0.13. There is probably a gem or plugin for it now (I implemented it by posting and parsing raw POST requests).
Authorize.NET (gateway) -> Paymentech (processor)<p>Riding the rails for <a href="http://www.revzilla.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.revzilla.com</a> <p>Yes, I would recommend it. Use the handy ActiveMerchant plugin. Do you have any special requirements? What is your expected transaction volume?
