Rails cart for photo agency

We run an online photo agency, serving photos, illustrations and movie clips to customers mainly in Scandinavia and Europe. We are currently in the process of moving from our old ASP system to Rails.
We need a cart, where clients can put images, check them out, pay using their credit card through PayPal or choose pay by invoice, and then have access to download the high-resolution files.

We are just in the process of completing a pricing calculator app in Rails which calculates a price for an image for a certain usage, which is then multiplied depending on factors such as size, print run and time. This creates a license, which is the item that is put in the cart.

The cart should work in the same way as the cart at gettyimages.com (viewable if you create a user account there - it's free), and have the same options and general design. Credit card payments should be integrated with PayPal. Invoices generated as pdf files. Apart from that we need support for multiple languages.

We need this in Ruby on Rails with a MySQL DB so it's easily integrated with the rest of our site, and would prefer an ajaxed web 2.0 version.

If we are satisfied with the results from this project, there will be more work later.
