I have a nearly complete site using ruby on rails and need to integrate either paypal or google checkout as one of the final steps. I have to honest I've never worked with an API before. I have everythign boiled down to a variable with the amount due. I've read about a paypal gem that sounds pretty straight forward. But the rates for google checkout are a little better. I have found google's documentation for the checkout service at http://code.google.com/apis/checkout/developer/index.html and set up a sandbox account. It looks to my like an XML document needs to be formed and sent to google with the appropriate information. Can anyone help me out with the finer details about how this would be implemented in ruby? Thanks for any help. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
