Atomic Spin :: Elements of Software

The Great Lakes IT Report posted the news.

From the press release love:

Said CircleBuilder co-founder and CEO Howard Brown: “We went through an extensive RFP process and chose Atomic Object because of its world-class Ruby-on-Rails and test driven / agile development experience. The AO team builds scalable, well tested software and Internet applications. It is an added bonus that Atomic Object is based in western Michigan.”

Said Atomic Object president Carl Erickson: “CircleBuilder is such an exciting project for us. Our team loves building the highest quality of software and the fact that CircleBuilder’s interactive Web service will help churches and faith-based organizations grow, prosper and better connect with their members is amazing.”

We just submitted a SkipJack payment gateway implementation for the ActiveMerchant project. ActiveMerchant is a Ruby library for dealing with credit cards, payment processing and shipping. It’s currently the most popular payment processing library for Ruby. SkipJack is a payment processing and financial services company.

Our SkipJack gateway is now available in the trunk of the ActiveMerchant repository.

Cody Fauser (ActiveMerchant maintainer) also announced Shopify’s support for the new SkipJack gateway.

The gateway supports all the standard features of all ActiveMerchant gateways: authorization, purchase, capture, void, credit and status operations. More details are available at the original submission post.
