How to integrate Paypal integration in Ruby on Rails

I am integrating payment module for the first time. I want to integrate paypal payment in my app. For this I see multiple options but I can't decide which one is better.

1) integration with Paypal (Difficult one)

2) PayPal-Ruby-SDK

3) Stripe (Looking Easy)

Which one is better? I want to use stripe but is it support paypal ? It is available in every country?

Please guide me and don't ask to search on google. NOte : Better meanz easier to implement

The question on 'better' is very subjective. Some facts: cost to you in time & cost in you per transaction. Depending on the country Stripe & Paypal take different amounts. I believe (in the uk) Stripe is cheaper (https://stripe.com/gb/pricing), 1.4% + 20p compared to paypal which I believe starts at 3.4% + 20p.

However for a developer, the bigger cost is the cost to build & maintain. My subjective experience on this (having implemented both previously) is the stripes documentation is easier and faster to integrate into your app.

Please note: Stripe does not o(as far as I know) support paypal payments. If you need this, you will need to use Paypal or Braintree (a paypal company: https://www.braintreepayments.com). Braintree is an all in one payments processor (similar charges to paypal), however they are currently offering the first £30k free (it may have country restrictions on that offer).
