|
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

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.
