    Hello,
    Anyone with authorize....Do we need to pay for authorizes recurring billing feature?

    I have the authorize plugin configured correctly, Cron job set, I've marked the subscription to rebill, but three expired this am and did not rebill.

    I have the upgraded pro version.. thanks for your help!

    Hello,

    There were issues with 3.1.0, and 3.1.1 not rebilling correctly that was fixed in 3.1.2.

    In addition make sure your using authorize_aim plugin instead of authorize plugin. The authorize plugin (i.e. SIM version) does not support rebilling. The authorize_aim version does support rebilling but you are storing credit card info (it is encrypted) on your server so your website needs to be PCI compliant.

    To answer the original question, no you do not need to purchase the Authorize.net ARB (automatic recurring billing) feature from Authorize.net. The aMember script will handle the rebill for you.

    My understanding from Alex is that amember's "integration module" for Authorize is not available yet. From this discussion, it appears the module *is* available.

    I'm working on doing the same right now. Asked authorize about pci compliance and have yet to get a response.

    I've read some of the documentation out there about pci compliance but am a little overwhelmed.

    Anyone who has dealt with this able to shed some light on what I need to do to ensure pci compliance?

    Thanks!

    For anyone interested in pci compliance documentation with authorize, they stated that it is the duty of the underwritter of the account. They said as long as an ssl certificate is used then it is all good.
