Looking for advice on selling domains within a website creation app
I'm working on a rails app to help people create websites, similar to weebly, but focused on a specific niche. I want to make it as easy as possible for my customers to buy a domain name through the app. Can anyone recommend a domain registrar with a great reseller program/api? Are there any rails plugins that could speed up development of this piece of the app? Anything I should look out for? Thanks!

We use Register.com, which was recommended to us by the awesome Weebly guys. The API is excellent and their developer support people are top-notch. Domains are pricey (though not as bad as it looks when you look at their retail prices), but everything works very well.
enom has a pretty decent API. You do need to buy credit in advance. I think it was around $200. As people register domains through your site, the money gets deducted from your account.

Just avoid Network Solutions. They have an atrocious history regarding their users. If you want details, google them and see what comes up.
