This sort of functionality, ie recurring charges and subscriptions in general, is generally pretty complicated and requirements vary a great deal depending on the intended user experience and the back-end systems, if any.
There is some stuff in place for recurring orders based on shopping lists.
The Recurring Charge prices are just information captured when an order is placed right now, but that doesn't feed into any automatic billing right now. That functionality was built to drive a back-end system that does the billing and such.
Either way, this is a tough nut to crack and I'd recommend a good bit of analysis and research before deciding on a way to go.

How do you setup a product that has a setup fee and a monthly fee? For example: phone service would have an initial setup fee and a monthly charge. Can one product contain both of these charges? Also I see the Price purpose of 'Recurring Charge', how do you set this charge up to recur (monthly)?
