View Full Version : I wish I could tweak Auth.net's ARB

Because it is almost perfect for what I need to do.

I need another payment processor that can:


Allow setup of recurring billing automatically
Use some sort of an API. I want to put it all in a function and check the response codes through my script
Allow the subscription to start without an initial charge. We want to give the customers their first month free.
Do some action if a monthly charge fails. Running one of my scripts would be perfect but I will settle for an email.


I had all of this with Auth.net's AIM method except I couldn't give them the first month free or create an ARB non-manually.

Where should I start looking? I don't want to store CC numbers.

After some searching I'm going to read up on iTransact and my co-worker highly reccommends CDG. I will post an update.

iTransact and eProcessingNetwork both offer very nice recurring solutions.

In particular, the Post-Back-to-URL functionality offered by both is great in that you can get a real-time response sent to a script on your side on every recurring billing which is a great way to keep your local billing/subscription DB and system "in sync" with the gateway recurring.

This would be killer. My bosses want everything to be automated so we could suspend the membership in the case of a failed payment.

I will be email you back sometime tommorrow, Chris.
