Have you considered porting/extending payola to support Chargify? #157

AFAIK Chargify has a pretty similar structure than Stripe, at least for subscriptions, etc, and similar webhooks too.

Are you aware of any efforts similar to Payola but supporting Chargify instead/on top of Stripe?

Chargify maintains a ruby API wrapper here: https://github.com/chargify/chargify_api_ares

oboxodo commented 9 years ago

Yeah, I know. But that's not equivalent to Payola. That's more like https://github.com/stripe/stripe-ruby.

@oboxodo I'm in the process of migrating from Chargify to Stripe at the moment, so I'm fairly familiar with how both platforms handle subscriptions, and I think there's probably too much difference between the two platforms to be able to share much code.

It would be great to see a similar gem created for handling subscriptions and sales using Chargify :smile: But I think that would have to be its own thing.

Hey @nfm ... could you expand a little bit about your migration from Chargify to Stripe? Did you use Payola? Did you end up with a lot less custom code by using Payola+Stripe vs Chargify? Thanks.

nfm commented 8 years ago

@oboxodo sure thing. We did end up using Payola to handle Stripe subscriptions. I think our code to integrate with Chargify was probably 3-4x what we needed to integrate with Stripe via Payola, and the Stripe integration is much tidier. I guess that's partly because the Stripe API itself is cleaner than Chargify's, so there are less weird edge cases to deal with.

Awesome. Thanks. We've been delaying the move for long. But eventually... :) Deleting a lot of old code, specially when it's related to handling $, is a good thing.
