A part of our revamped website, we’ve worked with Shalev NessAiver to create a patch for the ActiveMerchant Rails Gem allowing access to Authorize.net’s CIM module.

We’re temporarily hosting the project at Google Code until it gets feature complete to be added to ActiveMerchant. In the mean time, you can check out the code here:

This is the first of what we believe will be many contributions back to the OSS community from Blue Box Group.
