PayPal integration with Rails shopping cart

Hello everyone,

I have 3 main questions and they are:

1. Is it possible to integrate the PayPal payment gateway within our website? My client doesn't want the customer to be directed to the PayPal website to complete the transaction.

2. I tried integrating the 'Ruby PayPal Gem' from Elctech.com is for sale | HugeDomains but ran into some issues. I am using the PayPal SOAP API on Rails 1.2.5. I have a PayPal Pro and Developer Account but I did not get sandbox_api.crt, sandbox_api.key, live_api.crt and live_api.key as required for this installation.

My questions are a) Is this library compatible with Rails 1.2.5? and b) Could someone direct me to a good tutorial of installing this gem?

3. Is there a way to work with Active Merchant on Rails 1.2.5 because I think it is only compatible with the latest version?

I've been trying to crack this since the last 2 days and I am desperate to get this going. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

It is if you have one of their more expensive (paypal) accounts.

2. I tried integrating the 'Ruby PayPal Gem' from http://www.elctech.com/projects/paypal but ran into some issues. I am using the PayPal SOAP API on Rails 1.2.5.

Perhaps you're required to generate your own--see http://dist.leetsoft.com/api/paypal/ the example with some (for example) ' openssl req -new -key business_key.pem -x509 -days 3650 -out business_cert.pem' in there (equivalent to generating *.key??? maybe?

It should work with 1.2.5, I'd imagine--haven't ever done it.

3. Is there a way to work with Active Merchant on Rails 1.2.5 because I think it is only compatible with the latest version?

Yeah should integrate nicely. ActiveMerchant should make it easy.

maybe google for activemerchant paypal tutorial
