    I'm trying to setup the following.
    Subscription Product
    Payment= $5/month with recurring billing.
    The payment is automatically recurring until the user cancels their payment.
    What Authorize.net plugin is the best to use for this process?
    And How would I set the product up correctly?

    I use 1shoppingcart, and have it integrated with aMember. With 1shoppingcart you get a HUGE discount if you use PowerPay. They are like a middle man for Authorize.NET, but for being a 1sc member you get a big discount. Even though I got PowerPay from 1sc, I still have a real fully functional Authorize.NET account. So the only difference is I have a middle man and saved a bunch of money.

    I would charge like $5.97 or something like that. This way when you add the fees for processing the payment and for recurring billing, you won't go under $5 for payment into your pocket. Right now with exactly $5 you are really getting like 4 dollars and something per sale.

    Also, by having 1shoppingcart you have a really nice organized list of everything. It is WAY better than using aMember or even Authorize.net to pull up reports.

    I can pull up a spreadsheet, export, whatever of all my clients (members). Great for tax season :) haha just set the date ranges, the products, boom nice excel spreadsheet to give to my tax man so he can do my taxes.. He doesn't complain b/c its easy and I save money because he doesn't spend hours trying to tally up everything!
