Auth.Net does offer ARB (Automatic Recurring Billing) but I believe it costs more and required manually setting the txn to reoccur. This doesnt help a company that wants to offer rebilling.
Alot of webhost billing systems have their own way to encrypt CC Info ,AWBS for instance. Advantage is they use IONCUBE to encrypt alot of their source code so even if they hack the DB they are missing how the encrypt. I dont use the rebill feature in AWBS but I looked at their model when I was looking at doing some encryption. Eric On 2/19/07, Josh Nathanson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > That is quite wrong.
