This is because of the “:initial_amount” parameter you are using in the create_profile statement.

If you remove that parameter, it will be charged on the start_date you have provided.

Thank You,

I am using the recurring payment gateway in my rails application.

But when I use the method create_profile with parameters as below

GATEWAY.create_profile(nil,:credit_card => credit_card, :description=> ‘pro’, :start_date => “some date”, :period => “monthly”, :frequency => 1, :amount => 230, :initial_amount => 230, :auto_bill_outstanding => true )

But when I call this method, Its creating profile and also transaction is caried out and amount is cutting from my account. But it need to cut on my actual ‘start_date’

Can I know what is the mistake I need to make in it?

Thank You,
Uma Mahesh.

I have successfully created a profile_id ( checked it with get_profile_details(profile_id) and it’s valid).

However, I get an error when I try bill_outstanding_amount(profile_id, :amount => 10, :currency => “USD”) => “Profile ID is missing from the request”

Can somebody help?

Bundler won’t install without a gemspec, the rayvinly fork doesn’t have one.

I solved this by forking the current version of active_merchant and adding the gateway file from the rayvinly fork. Then I copied activemerchant.gemspec to active_merchant.gemspec. In active_merchant.gemspec I changed the s.name = ‘activemerchant’ line to read s.name = ‘active_merchant’.

Now to test the gem and see if it’s up to date with the current PayPal API version…

I’m trying to use this with Rails 3 and I’m a little unsure exactly where/how to install it into my project. Currently I’m using the Gemfile and bundle install to add the gems I want however when I tried the following I got errors:


from Gemfile:
gem 'active_merchant', :git => 'git://github.com/rayvinly/active_merchant.git'



Could not find gem 'active_merchant (>= 0)' in git://github.com/rayvinly/active_merchant.git (at master).
Source does not contain any versions of 'active_merchant (>= 0)'


I guess I’m doing this totally wrong but I’m not really sure how to get this integrated into my project.

Can anyone guide a poor novice through this? Cheers

Ive set it to be daily so that i can test it relatively quickly, and i get the initial 2 IPN’s back, one with transaction type subscr_signup and another subscr_payment.

Thats all fine, except i never get another payment each day?

Please could anyone help me with this?
