Merchant at this months Ruby Ireland meetup, which will be held at

I hope it went well, is there a link available to watch the
presentation?

Thanks to all who showed up last night, and again apologies for the
VGA-cable problems, thanks to Declan's trusty netbook we got there in
the end.
I think we all basically clean forgot to try recording the talk, being
pre-occupied getting the LG LCD to work :(

In any case, the slides for it are here;
http://matthutchinson-talks.heroku.com/#12

There seemed to be a genuine interest in the topic so I've offered to
write a blog post (or perhaps a series of posts) on this topic and dig
deeper into the code. I'll put these up on my own blog, http://matthewhutchinson.net
(and maybe cross post them on rubyireland.com?)

To summarise the talk briefly;

I gave an overview on the basics of taking payments online,
specifically; Banks, Gateways and libraries/code/web services
available for your Rails app. I explained the 7 core methods in
ActiveMerchant billing gateways. I covered the important design
decisions I took before building in recurring billing, specifically;
High level (which bank/gateway etc.) price plan decisions (upgrade/
downgrade paths/logic etc.) and actual application decisions (how its
coded etc.). Finally I talked about some pain points you'll likely to
come across when working with recurring billing and online payments in
general.

Regards,

matt

Hi Matt,

Thanks again for last night's talk. The cross-posting of your proposed blog post(s) on Ruby Ireland is a great idea. I'll write up a blog post on last night soon and we'll get the ball rolling!

Dec

Caught up on the content on heroku - looks like it was a great
talk, I'd be very interested to see a blog post too!
