Payments with Stripe for your Rails application.
Payola is a drop-in Rails engine that lets you sell one or more products by just including a module in your models. It includes:
- An easy to embed, easy to customize, async Stripe Checkout button
- Asynchronous payments, usable with any background processing system
- Full webhook integration
- Easy extension hooks for adding your own functionality
- Customizable emails
To see Payola in action, check out the site for Mastering Modern Payments: Using Stripe with Rails. Read the book to find out the whys behind Payola's design.
Add Payola to your Gemfile:
gem 'payola-payments', github: 'mrideout/payola', branch: 'master'Run the installer:
$ rails g payola:install
$ rake db:migrate(Note: do not run rake payola:install:migrations. Payola's migrations live inside the gem and do not get copied into your application.)
Optionally, tell Stripe about your application. Add this as a webhook in your Stripe dashboard:
https://your.website.example.com/payola/events
- Multiple subscriptions per customer
- Affiliate tracking
- Easy metered billing
