@Brandon—

I’m going to be working a patch for Active Merchant to handle recurring payments (see http://code.google.com/p/activemerchant/issues/detail?id=78 for discussion).

If there is anything you have to contribute that isn’t provided in patches 78 and 54, please send it my way as soon as is feasible.

Thanks!

Hi. What if, when creating a new Event, you initially offer a free month, then bill X amount for the succeeding months? Is this possible with the present implementation?

Look at the README and the sample project.

If you’re getting errors, please email them to me.

Hi,

I downloaded it and did a rake migrate and couldn’t able to proceed further and looking for a sample example on its usage.

Thank you -Paddy

For those that have been waiting, I’ve rewritten acts_as_billable and have a version that I’m not ashamed of. However, it’s not ready for prime time yet, so I’d love to get some feedback.

script/plugin install http://source.collectiveidea.com/public/acts_as_billable/trunk/

There’s a start of a sample app (that uses rspec) that goes with it at http://source.collectiveidea.com/public/acts_as_billable/samples/depot

Let me know what you think! I’d like to get some feedback and announce this in the next week or so.

Hi Brandon, Forgive me for not being patient enough... Are there any news on the plugin? I need to make a decision RSN about writing one like this from scratch... That is all right, I just would like to know if there is a possibility for this plugin to get released. "No" is a perfectly understandable answer. Just please let me know :)

Kenny, I sincerely apologize to you and everyone else waiting for this plugin for making a post about vaporware. It drives me nuts when people talk about some great peace of software but don't release it, and here I did it myself. We've been testing acts_as_billable in a project over the past month or so, but it's somewhat tied to the implementation of that project. I will try to clean it up a bit and release it in the next couple days. I'm looking forward to getting everyones feedback and help to make it better! Thanks for "nudging" me! :)

Any ETA on this great-sounding plugin? I know many people who are eagerly awaiting the release.

This would be awesome for sites that want to offer payment plans for larger items - like paying for a car/boat/vacation... This could very easily solve the limited-duration recurring billing nightmares that anyone developing outside of a simple product + price + checkout the entire order right now scenario has to deal with. rock on. Is it done yet is it done yet? :)

Outstanding. I could use this right away. Like Andrew Turner, I am about to launch a project that requires charging, and I have put that off hoping some angel railist would drop a neat solution from the heavens. I hear wings flapping! Thanks and please hurry with a release!

Jeff, There's two different ways of testing. 1) ActiveMerchant includes a bogus gateway that you can use. 2) Most payment gateways will give you a test account to use. ActiveMerchant allows you to configure your payment gateway in the environment files.

Jeff, Right now most of our testing is actually being done in our main app, and via ActiveMerchant. Before we release it, we'll move that more into the plugin. ActiveMerchant has a "Bogus Gateway" that I like to use for tests. Expect to see that in use in our tests.

Sounds cool! Can you give me an idea on what testing looks like? For example, how do I test the act_as_billable without actually sending the charges through a payment gateway?

Andrew, Don't use Payment. Stick to ActiveMerchant. Trust me.

Well, one of the projects that we're using it for has to be ready for a client by July 24. So we have to have it in some form by then. I'd like to get something out in the next week or so to get some feedback and improve it.

Sounds really great - I'm just starting to dig in Payment and ActiveMerchant for a project I'm working on. Such a teaser - any idea about when you'll be pushing acts_as_billable out?
