    I just ran into this issue. A customer for a recurring subscription had his credit card (visa) expire. He updated his info with a new credit card, but it was for a card that I do not accept (discover). Needless to say the charge was not processed, so this subscription has not been renewed (yet). I have manually adjusted his account so it won't expire while we work thru this and I get discover set up on my merchant account.

    I also checked the main page that lists the different subscriptions, and I noticed that it just asks for a credit card number, and does not show what cards I accept.

    I thought about asking why doesn't aMember have a way to show what cards are accepted, but that doesn't resolve the issue. So it would be better to ask if there is a way that this can be done, and to prevent people from entering a card that is not accepted?

    Thanks,

    Jim.

    Jim,
    You can add accepted cards in payment plugin description in aMember CP -> Setup -> Payment plugin name.
    Or edit /amember/template/cc/cc_info.html template and include that info.

    Alex,

    I must be blind, I can not find where to specify the accepted c.c.'s in either place.
    In the CP> setup> plugins, I have authorize_aim selected.
    in the cp> setup> authorize.net AIM> I can not find any way to specify any cards, there is no list of the different cards (visa/mc, discover, am ex, etc..)

    In the cc_info.html I noticed something.
    I opened the file in my browser and it shows there is a drop down to select the #_TPL_CC_INFO_CCTYPE#

    BUT, when you go thru the website and try to sign up for a subscription, on the c.c. info page that shows up, that drop down is NOT on the page. This makes me think that the config.cc_type_options is set to false.

    What am I missing?

    Thanks,

    Jim.

    Jim,
    Auth.Net API does not require CC type to set, so plugin just don't show this option.
    What I mean is you can edit payment system description in plugin config and mention what CC types you accept.
