What are some of the popular web payment API/services that can be easily integrated with ruby on rails framework? I have tried using PayPal the standard version and it was not too flexibler. I have never tried the pro version. Can you guys suggest other alternatives out there that are easy to use, secure, not too hefty on the commission as well and have subscription/recurring payment functionality.

There is Stripe. You can see nice short screencast by Ryan Bates here: http://railscasts.com/episodes/288-billing-with-stripe

There are also two other options with screent cast, namely PayPal http://railscasts.com/episodes/141-paypal-basics and Active Merchant http://railscasts.com/episodes/144-active-merchant-basics

Authorize.net has an API with sample code for Ruby and several other languages. No direct rails plugin, but I am sure it can be easily incorporated. I used the PHP version and incorporated it in under an hour. It has all the functions that you mentioned in your post.
