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. |
