How to integrate paypal with ruby on rails app?

Suggest I have User model(devise), this user must be able to pay for some services, using his paypal account. So I want to implement paypal_account:

class PaypalAccount < ActiveRecord::base
  attr_accessible #paypal credentials
  ...
  belongs_to :user
end 

So when user checkout some service, he is redirected to paypal only to confirm this. If this is posible: what attributes(fields in db) paypal_accounts must have?, how to build this request?.

You can have a look at the APIs Paypal offers to developers, starting from here.

But it can be a long and error-prone task.

IMO the best option is to use the gem who best suits your requirements amongst the several ones you can find on github.

I personally found this quite straightforward to use.
