| Recurring
Gateway AutoBill Products Supported (gateway stores credit cards).
Gateways supported for this feature are Authorize.net and PayPal
Payflow Pro (used to be Verisign Payflow PRO) This feature enables direct gateway recurring autobill processing, for Authorize.net and PayPal Payflow Pro (used to be Verisign Payflow PRO). This feature is used in combination with recurring or auto-ship products or subscription sites to perform repeated billing at specified intervals (daily, weekly, monthly, annually, etc). This feature expands on our prior support for recurring products, and eliminates the need to store credit cards on your storefront in order to do recurring products. With the new system, you do not have to store any credit card information, the gateways store them for you, and send billing status reports every day to the storefront, which then turns the approvals into new orders by customer. This feature works nicely in combination with our subscription topic content protection, to enable subscription web sites providing data to customers during their subscription. It also works with recurring auto-bill types of sites, such as wine of the month club, etc. Any recurring product can be used with the new AutoBill gateway feature. |
