I'm new to payment gateways and was looking for some recommendations on a quality one to use that integrates well with rails.
Thanks,
Norm

we just put up an online shop with Triple Deal Payment Services http://corporate.tripledeal.com/
their interface is quite simple, everything goes with a few https calls like https://tripledeal_server_thingy.com/..blah_blah...PaymentService? command=show_payment_cluster&merchant_name=our_shop& merchant_transaction_id=our_id_001&client_language=EN& payment_cluster_key=1234567890
no rails plugin or other help for that, but easy enough and they offer a wide range of payment methods and other backoffice functionality (like automatic billing and remainder mails)
you can put up the basics with a week of work or so
Hiya Norm ,
Have a look at http://www.activemerchant.org/ - lots of people use this & it works well with a number of merchants.
I've used this with paypal & it worked wonderfully well.
Our paypal installation worked very well. I think the fees are a little higher than a bank merchant account, but you may not be able to obtain a bank merchant account if you are just starting up [this might just be for the UK].
Tickex - the search engine for concert, sports, and theatre tickets http://www.tickex.com
We're using Braintree Payment Solutions (www.braintreepaymentsolutions.com), which is supported by the Active Merchant plug-in, and have been quite happy with it.
The fees vary from a bit less than PayPal to a little more, depending on the card type, whether address is verified, and so forth. But unlike PayPay, they don't insist on imposing their brand on your customers; it all stays in the background.

Thanks so much for the info from both of you. I'm going to give them a real hard look at.
