Michel and I have been playing around with integrating Adyen payment services in Rails applications. We have assembled some of the pieces of code we have written, combined them, written specs for them and released the result as a gem. The package is also included on the Adyen support site.

Currently, the gem provides the following:

• Simple configuration and setup.
• Uses Adyen’s test or production environment based on your Rails environment.
• Generating hidden form fields for redirecting to Adyen for a payment.
• Calculating the signature to sign these redirects.
• Checking Adyen’s signature when the user gets redirected back.
• Matchers to easily test your payment forms using RSpec.
• Receiving and storing notifications from Adyen.
• Calling the Adyen SOAP services (requires the Handsoap gem).

Currently, not all SOAP services are implemented (because we didn’t need them all). It should be quite easy to implement them as well based on the other services that are implemented already. Don’t hesitate to submit patches!
