I thought I posted here yesterday, but I don't see it now. :(

Basically, I'm trying to find out if MB can do BOTH of these at the same time:

1. Automatically charge customers credit cards each month (for those who want this)

2. Require customer to submit payment each month via credit card (for those who want this instead)

We use Authorize.net

Anyone???

Yes, it can do that.

You can encrypt the card and have it batch each month, or set the person to invoice/paypal and they can login and click "Pay Online" and pay one time via credit card.

Both at the same time??? Are you sure?

I was under the impression that if you chose batch...you had to autocharge EVERYONE.

Anyone else confirm seraphex?

nope i do it this way as well, Like if people are wanting to pay with CC one time only each time, I just set them to paypal, and then they have the option of paying with paypal or one time CC.

I thought if it was set to Paypal., it would only display the Paypal option...and not the "pay online" option too.

Well for us it shows both, set you up a test account (if you have MB already) and set the account to paypal and create you an invoice, and then login. Of course MB has to be setup to accept CC's as well when you do this.

Yeah, we have MB and 1000s of customers in there already...which is why I want to make sure 100% that I don't screw it up. ;)

By doing that wouldn't you be storing the CC numbers yourself? Aren't there pretty stringent guidelines from the CC companies on how those numbers have to be stored?

First, ModernBill encrypts numbers you store for automatic charges.

However, I failed to mention, that I don't want to store the numbers...I want Authorize.net to store the numbers.

Am I completely screwed on this whole idea??

As for storing the numbers i'm not 100% sure MB will do that with authorize. MB would have to store them and rebill them via its batch. but on the one time pay's it doesn't store anything, it just charges the card each time a person enters the data in.
