Looking for something like Pay Pal that is more suited to Rails and is not too complicated to get up and running.
Cheers Dave
Choosing a payment provider it’s difficult and depends mostly on your needs.
If you are more interested to get up and running with payments with not so many issues, then I recommend you to use https://stripe.com.
Working with it is great in my opinion (compared with other payment providers), and l have heard other developers enjoy working with it as well.
The documentation is great, there are many tutorials, and getting started (without too much customisation) is very easy.
Also their taxes are not that bad either.
Hope that helps.
Hi looking for an easy to integrate with Rails Payment Gateway that as part of the Registration Process once the user has made the payment they gain access to
restricted pages. No need for shopping carts.

Hi Mugurel Looking for help to integrate Stripe into my Website
Current users Controller is
class UsersController < ApplicationController
before_action :logged_in_user, only: [:index, :edit, :update, :destroy,
:following, :followers]
before_action :correct_user, only: [:edit, :update]
before_action :admin_user, only: :destroy
def index
@users = User.where(activated: true).paginate(page: params[:page])
end
def show
@user = User.find(params[:id])
redirect_to root_url and return unless @user.activated?
end
def new
@user = User.new
end
def create
@user = User.new(user_params)
if @user.save
@user.send_activation_email
flash[:info] = "Please check your email to activate your account."
redirect_to root_url
else
render 'new'
end
end
def edit
@user = User.find(params[:id])
end
def update
@user = User.find(params[:id])
if @user.update_attributes(user_params)
flash[:success] = "Profile updated"
redirect_to @user
else
render 'edit'
end
end
def destroy
User.find(params[:id]).destroy
flash[:success] = "User deleted"
redirect_to users_url
end
private
def user_params
params.require(:user).permit(:name, :email, :password,
:password_confirmation)
end
# Confirms the correct user.
def correct_user
@user = User.find(params[:id])
redirect_to(root_url) unless current_user?(@user)
end
# Confirms an admin user.
def admin_user
redirect_to(root_url) unless current_user.admin?
end
end
Looking at changing users create method
to include the create method of Charges Controller
class ChargesController < ApplicationController
def new
end
def create
# Amount in cents
@amount = 2000
customer = Stripe::Customer.create(
:email => params[:stripeEmail],
:source => params[:stripeToken]
)
charge = Stripe::Charge.create(
:customer => [customer.id](http://customer.id),
:amount => @amount,
:description => 'Rails Stripe customer',
:currency => 'usd'
)
rescue Stripe::CardError => e
flash[:error] = e.message
redirect_to new_charge_path
end
end
Current form for a new user
<%= form_for(@user) do |f| %>
<%= render ‘shared/error_messages’, object: f.object %>
<%= f.label :name %>
<%= f.text_field :name, class: ‘form-control’ %>
<%= f.label :email %>
<%= f.email_field :email, class: ‘form-control’ %>
<%= f.label :password %>
<%= f.password_field :password, class: ‘form-control’ %>
<%= f.label :password_confirmation %>
<%= f.password_field :password_confirmation, class: ‘form-control’ %>
<%= f.submit yield(:button_text), class: “btn btn-primary” %>
<% end %>
Need to include part of new.html.erb below into the form above
<%= form_tag charges_path do %>
<% if flash[:error].present? %>
<%= flash[:error] %>
<% end %>
Amount: $20.00
<% end %>
The idea being that when new user signs up they will include their credit card details into the users form.
If the card details are correct and the user is not already in the database they will be accepted as a new user.
The existing users model is shown below.
class User < ApplicationRecord
attr_accessor :remember_token, :activation_token, :reset_token
before_save :downcase_email
before_create :create_activation_digest
validates :name, presence: true, length: { maximum: 50 }
VALID_EMAIL_REGEX = /\A[\w+-.]+@[a-z\d-.]+.[a-z]+\z/i
validates :email, presence: true, length: { maximum: 255 },
format: { with: VALID_EMAIL_REGEX },
uniqueness: { case_sensitive: false }
has_secure_password
validates :password, presence: true, length: { minimum: 6 }, allow_nil: true
Returns the hash digest of the given string.
def User.digest(string)
cost = ActiveModel::SecurePassword.min_cost ? BCrypt::Engine::MIN_COST :
BCrypt::Engine.cost
BCrypt::Password.create(string, cost: cost)
end
Returns a random token.
def User.new_token
SecureRandom.urlsafe_base64
end
Remembers a user in the database for use in persistent sessions.
def remember
self.remember_token = User.new_token
update_attribute(:remember_digest, User.digest(remember_token))
end
Returns true if the given token matches the digest.
def authenticated?(attribute, token)
digest = send(“#{attribute}_digest”)
return false if digest.nil?
BCrypt::Password.new(digest).is_password?(token)
end
Forgets a user.
def forget
update_attribute(:remember_digest, nil)
end
Activates an account.
def activate
update_columns(activated: true, activated_at: Time.zone.now)
end
Sends activation email.
def send_activation_email
UserMailer.account_activation(self).deliver_now
end
Sets the password reset attributes.
def create_reset_digest
self.reset_token = User.new_token
update_attribute(:reset_digest, User.digest(reset_token))
update_attribute(:reset_sent_at, Time.zone.now)
end
Sends password reset email.
def send_password_reset_email
UserMailer.password_reset(self).deliver_now
end
Returns true if a password reset has expired.
def password_reset_expired?
reset_sent_at < 2.hours.ago
end
Returns a user’s status feed.
private
Converts email to all lower-case.
def downcase_email
email.downcase!
#self.email = email.downcase
end
Creates and assigns the activation token and digest.
def create_activation_digest
self.activation_token = User.new_token
self.activation_digest = User.digest(activation_token)
end
end
I f you have any ideas on how to achieve this can you let me know please.
Or is there another way doing it?
Cheers Dave
Hello David, thanks for asking for my help.
Based on the details you provided, you are asking quite a general task and I can’t help you that much.
I don’t know what’s your experience you have with Ruby on Rails in general, but the best thing I can do is to give you general development suggestions.
Try and write down what you are trying to achieve and then break everything in small steps, and document that as an algorithm.
Usually when I have something that’s too complex to wrap my head around I do something like this in the controller or whatever.
