Integrating Chargebee subscriptions and recurring billing with a Rails app

Hi everyone. I wrote a post on how to implement subscriptions and recurring payments in Rails with Chargebee. Chargebee is an awesome service with lots of features - which would take ages to build/replicate, it requires very little code (which you won’t need to touch if you change payment gateways or if some law changes), and support is excellent. It’s also totally free with the “Launch” plan until you reach 50K in revenue. link.
