Subscriptions and Recurring Billing
- Subscriptions can be used to add users to a user group. e.g. Join our gold customer group for $9.95 a year, and receive free shipping on all your orders. Join our platinum customer group for $29.95 a year, and receive 10% off all your purchases, and free shipping.
- Subscriptions with recurring billing can be used to sell products which are automatically delivered on a specific delivery schedule. e.g. Join our jam of the month club for $4.95 initial payment, and $9.95 a month, and every month you'll receive 2 new jars of our delicious jams.
- Specify the billing option as one time payment, recurring charge of nor initial payment of n, and recurring payments of n.
- Specify the recurring billing frequency as every n days or every n months.
- Specify the total number of payments. e.g. a one year subscription would have 11 payments if an initial payment was collected at the time of sale.
- Recurring billing is handled via the real time payment processors so no credit card data isrequired to be stored in the database. This allows for large subscriber bases, and a high level of security.
- Recurring billing works with the following payment gateways: Authorize.Net, CyberSource, Internet Secure, LinkPoint, Paradata, PayJunction, PayPal Payflow Pro (formerly VeriSign), and Skipjack. Additional payment gateways will be released based on customer demand and availability from the provider.
- Payment gateways send out monthly reminders that the card is going to be billed. Visit the payment gateway web sites for additional features that are available.
