    1st; Excellent program, strongly recommend it!:)

    2nd; We are using Auth.net AIM and some of our memberships have a free trial that will then convert to recurring payments after a month. I spoke with Auth.net and they requested we process our trial verifications as Authorize_Only. aMember uses Authorize_Capture to bill $1 and then immediately refunds/cancels the charge. Yes, this is kinda the same thing; but different. Yes, I can see how this makes writing the code for aMember easier too. Anyway, is there a setting for this or can this be implemented in the next aMember version?

    3rd; Can the Admin manually cancel a users' subscription without having to delete the transaction and losing the records of it? On the "Edit Payment/Subscription" page, if the "completed" box is unchecked, will this effectively cancel the subscription (assuming we are past any billing re-attempts)? Yes, this can lead to a host of problems but we need the ability to issue a refund and prevent this from being re-billed while maintaining the records for any future reasons.

    All comments welcome,

    2. Please contact us via heldpesk and we will help, this will be also added to next version.
    3. Let me explain when authorize_aim makes rebill. It happens when:
    - user has an ACTIVE subscription to RECURRING product expiring TODAY.
    When you refund payment, it is better to just mark payment as non-paid, it is also better for your income reports.
