Overview

Description

The Gateway class is the base class for all ActiveMerchant gateway implementations.

The standard list of gateway functions that most concrete gateway subclasses implement is:

  • purchase(money, creditcard, options = {})

  • authorize(money, creditcard, options = {})

  • capture(money, authorization, options = {})

  • void(identification, options = {})

  • credit(money, identification, options = {})

Some gateways include features for recurring billing

  • recurring(money, creditcard, options = {})

Some gateways also support features for storing credit cards:

  • store(creditcard, options = {})

  • unstore(identification, options = {})
