Re: Something like ActiveMerchant?

True - most gateways have PHP code to back it up, but I still feel
like there's a bit of reinventing the wheel every time you start a new
app or gateway. I think there are a lot of benefits to abstracting the
code, so in theory further development should become relatively
straightforward. The biggest benefit to user developers is getting to
use a consistent interface and not having to adapt to the particulars
of some company's (sometimes twisted) API.
