I'm trying to get recurring payments to work on my Rails site.
I have two options:
Recurring Payments via the PayPal Subscribe button API (http://ianpurton.com/adding-paypal-subscription-to-your-rails-appl)
Recurring Payments via ActiveMerchant and PayPal Express (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/471936/recurring-billing-with-rails-and-activemerchant-best-practices-pitfalls-gotcha)
My monthly payments are going to be cheap (less than $5/mo). I only need one paid plan (a pro plan) and don't plan on adding additional plans. I also expect volume to be very modest ... and is meant to help cover some of my server expenses.
For me the biggest factors: - Ease of adding this to my site. - Least amount of surchages and monthly minimums
Thanks for any help!
