MerchantSidekick

MerchantSidekick is a light-weight E-commerce framework for Ruby on Rails applications.

Features

MerchantSidekick includes in- and outbound order management and invoicing, a shopping cart, taxation and payment processing. It integrates with ActiveMerchant for payment processing by default. The plugin can be extended to use other payment processors outside the scope of ActiveMerchant.
