Active Merchant¶ ↑

This library is supposed to aid in creating e-commerce software in Ruby. In the future we want to support all “good” payment gateways.

This library is the foundation of commerce for www.shopify.com.

Sample Usage¶ ↑

require 'rubygems'
require 'active_merchant'

# Use the TrustCommerce test servers
ActiveMerchant::Billing::Base.mode = :test

# ActiveMerchant accepts all amounts as Integer values in cents
# $10.00
amount = 1000

# The card verification value is also known as CVV2, CVC2, or CID
credit_card = ActiveMerchant::Billing::CreditCard.new(
                :first_name         => 'Bob',
                :last_name          => 'Bobsen',
                :number             => '4242424242424242',
                :month              => '8',

                :verification_value => '123'
              )

# Validating the card automatically detects the card type
if credit_card.valid?

  # Create a gateway object for the TrustCommerce service
  gateway = ActiveMerchant::Billing::TrustCommerceGateway.new(
              :login => 'TestMerchant',
              :password => 'password'
            )

  # Authorize for the amount
  response = gateway.purchase(amount, credit_card)

  if response.success?
    puts "Successfully charged $#{sprintf("%.2f", amount / 100)} to the credit card #{credit_card.display_number}"
  else
    raise StandardError, response.message 
  end
end
