Maybe sort of late on a Friday afternoon to be asking, but who do people
like/dislike to integrate with for credit card processing?
And this is not necessarily from a ruby perspective; the system we would be
integrating is .Net/Flex (*shudder* but it pays the bills), so this is
really just a more general question on options, who's
good/bad/expensive/cheap/etc.
One absolute is that we don't want to store credit card info ourselves.
Just don't want to take that on.
I've been very happy with Braintree in the past. Their API is
well-documented and their support is excellent. Everything pretty much
just worked.

This is exactly what Stripe and stripe.js offer - the credit card
information is never even sent to your server - you get a token that you
exchange for a customer token or a charge.
I recently set this up, and it's great. Very straightforward and simple.
Braintree recently introduced a service that I understand is supposed to
compete with Stripe on this.
We use Stripe for all of our clients. Braintree is fantastic as well but
their pricing model is difficult for smaller companies to adopt. I believe
they have some new offering where you can sign up for a period of time and
not pay their fee.

One caveat that seems to be oft overlooked is Stripe is pretty bare bones.
Any business offering is going to need to handle Dunning emails, receipt
generation, a customer portal, etc. Stripe is really good at charging
people. It provides nothing in way of other billing features however.
Services like Recurly cost more, but fill that void.
