    I am curious about using Auth.net CIM service to handle storing of all the CC data. 3 questions...

    Question 1 - Does this plugin cause my signups to leave my site and go to a page at Auth.net to enter their info and then return to my site (ala Paypal)? Or do they enter the info while remaining on my site which I then pass in background to Auth.net for storage? I am hoping for the latter

    Question 2 - Similar to #1, if someone wants to update their info or CC, do they do it "thru" my site or do they leave and go to auth.net?

    Question 3 - How is expiring CC handled? Does the email come from amember or auth.net?

    Thanks!

    1. Yes the later. CC info will be taken on your site.
    2. On your site as well.
    3. CC info will nto be stored in amember at all, and I don't know will Auth.net send email in this situation or not.

    Thanks for the reply. One more question regarding CIM.

    Does Amember pass the amount to bill each time? Or is that stored in CIM and used for each billing period? Basically if I manually adjust someone's billable amount in Amember control panel, does that adjusted amount get billed next time? (I know that is really 3 questions)

    Yes amount will be sent for each transaction, however you can change it only if you will change product price. There is no way to change amount just for one user.
