Active Merchant

This library is supposed to aid in creating e-commerce software in Ruby. In the future we want to support all “good” payment gateways.

This library is the foundation of commerce for www.shopify.com.

Please visit the ActiveMerchant homepage for more resources, tutorials and other information about this project.
