I would like to implement a payment solution with my Rails site using Paypal Website Payments Standard. (See https://www.paypal.com/IntegrationCenter/ic_standard_home.html). I don't want fancy gateways, and I don't want to go through the hassles related to storing credit card information. I also want to use Paypal IPN for notifications.

I have checked out various sites such as http://www.fortytwo.gr/blog/14/Using-Paypal-with-Rails, and I'm too cheap to try Rails Kits at http://railskits.com/saas/.

Does anybody know of a working open-source Rails application that makes use of Paypal Website Payments Standard for billing, and can you point me to that code?

Also, my business is in Canada, but the servers are in the USA. Do I have to sign up for Paypal.com or paypal.ca?
