Best approach for an internationalised payment gateway implementation

I'm looking to integrate a payment gateway into a Ruby on Rails applicaton. Although i have already implemented one before im struggling to see how i can implement one which will cater for different countries.

For example, if it was only a UK based app i could use a UK vendor (e.g CardStream), if it was only a US app i could use a US vendor (e.g. BrainTree), but i can't seem to find a vendor that caters for multiple countries.

I'm concerned that i am going to have to have both a UK gateway and a US gateway running alongside each other in the same application. Surely this is not the case and im missing something entirely?

Thanks in advance.

Solution

  • There are actually quite a few PSPs and/or acquirers who support both the US and Europe. Most of these will have various flavours of API such as XML or SOAP. Check out Chase Paymentech Europe dot com.
