This article walks you through all of the key aspects of building a Ruby on Rails application that is capable of accepting credit card transactions. Using the Authorize.net API (application program interface) and a freely available plugin called Active Merchant, this article will show you how to configure a secure server and then process credit card transactions using minimal code.
Active Merchant uses the same code in production use on popular e-commerce sites like Shopify, so it provides a well-tested, reliable code base for its users. The simple plugin abstracts the 55 page Advanced Integration Method documentation provided by Authorize.net (among others), allowing for seamless and simple application integration.
