The Gateway class is the base class for all ActiveMerchant gateway implementations.
The standard list of gateway functions that most concrete gateway subclasses implement is:
purchase(money, creditcard, options = {})
authorize(money, creditcard, options = {})
capture(money, authorization, options = {})
void(identification, options = {})
credit(money, identification, options = {})
Some gateways include features for recurring billing
recurring(money, creditcard, options = {})
Some gateways also support features for storing credit cards:
store(creditcard, options = {})
unstore(identification, options = {})
The options hash consists of the following options:
:order_id - The order number
:ip - The IP address of the customer making the purchase
:customer - The name, customer number, or other information that identifies the customer
:invoice - The invoice number
:merchant - The name or description of the merchant offering the product
:description - A description of the transaction
:email - The email address of the customer
:currency - The currency of the transaction. Only important when you are using a currency that is not the default with a gateway that supports multiple currencies.
:billing_address - A hash containing the billing address of the customer.
:shipping_address - A hash containing the shipping address of the customer.
The :billing_address, and :shipping_address hashes can have the following keys:
:name - The full name of the customer.
:company - The company name of the customer.
:address1 - The primary street address of the customer.
:address2 - Additional line of address information.
:city - The city of the customer.
:state - The state of the customer. The 2 digit code for US and Canadian addresses. The full name of the state or province for foreign addresses.
:country - The [ISO 3166-1-alpha-2 code](www.iso.org/iso/country_codes/iso_3166_code_lists/english_country_names_and_code_elements.htm) for the customer.
:zip - The zip or postal code of the customer.
:phone - The phone number of the customer.
