Dump it and go with v_paypal. I set it up this morning and it worked the first time. You can get it at rubyforge. The nice thing is, they've already done the leg work creating the files with the wsdl, included the paypal php sdk cert and everything. All you have to do is provide, in the yml, your paypal login info for the api and it works. It also works great with the express checkout which is REQUIRED by paypal. I highly recommend this one. The only thing I did differently was downloaded the gem, changed the file type to tar to get an extraction so I could view the readme before installing it. Documentation outside of the gem is null and void. Here’s my update Damian. Dump it and go with v_paypal. I set it up this morning and it worked the first time. You can get it at rubyforge.

I'll post updates when I try (probably later tonight) I haven’t gotten that far to be honest, but it’s not exactly encouraging to hear that. I’ll post updates when I try (probably later tonight)

We get nothing but failures for no apparent reason. Paypal can't even find the problem. Also, have you been able to get express checkout working with this pluign? It seems that express checkout is required to be used with this and the readme for the plugin says it's not fully supported. Were you able to use the paypal plugin successfully with a live account?

I do have result.errors.longMessage in my controller, but I bet I don't have that in my default.rb; unless of course it was there from the wsdl script. I'll check it shortly and let you know how it works. By the way, i'm making a modified version of acts_as_authenticated for purchase of access to a site. I bet that’s the problem.
