Subscriptions with paypal...how?

You can implement paypals subscriptions with activemerchant by using Instant Payment Notification, which is part of paypal.

Once a user has subscribed to your subscriptions your rails application will net a notification of the subscription, and then at each billing period another notice and so forth. You application will implement a controller that will handle the notices doing the necessary book work for the notification. Do a search for "activemerchant IPN" and you find examples how to do this.

Somewhat OT: You should also consider Amazon Flexible Payments. I don't flat-out advocate one over the other; it depends on your app's specific needs. Still, it's worth a look.

I'll take a look to it :slight_smile: An option more would be nice for the customer, if it has some kind of subscriptions :slight_smile: thanks
