    I'd like to know how to charge members a one time random fee either manually or automatically which is added to their monthly recurring fee.

    If users on our site use more resources / features than what their account is limited to we begin to tally overage usage. And at the end of the month bill them the overage fees, on top of their monthly fee.

    Can amember handle this, if our script totals their monthly overage fee's can it add this total to the amount that will be charged for their recurring fee?

    If not, i'm thinking of using one of two methods
    1. The first method would be capture their CC info have it stored in auth.net go into the virtual terminal and charge them for the overages manually, and let amember handle monthly recurring fees. Or possibly integrate auth.net API and automatically charge them for their overage the same day as their recurring fees.
    2. The second would be to show a popup when they reach their account limits which asks them to make a deposit with paypal for site credits. Any overages would be deducted from their store credits. While monthly recurring continues with amember

    Are either of these methods more ideal than the other or does anyone have some more ideas on how to handle this?

    Thanks

    This is possible to change recurring billing amount if you will use cc_core based plugin(like authorize_aim, although this will require customization still )
