Re: Easy-to-develop recurring billing?
I've started using Billing Orchard for recurring billing. It has an API and also a new feature called Checkout Pages where you can setup recurring billing (with a post back call on success). Both are easy to code. I used PayQuake.com for the merchant account/Authorize.net reseller. They have a couple of low fee, low minimum plans for starters (rate is high, though). You can use any Authorize.net reseller. The recurring billing (ARB) from Authorize.net is $10/mo. http://www.billingorchard.com/default.cfm?pid=a2de1a17 is $19.99 for 250 transactions/mo. They also offer an interface to let users manage their subscription. Pretty cool stuff. ~| Get involved in the latest ColdFusion discussions, product development sharing, and articles on the Adobe Labs wiki. http://labs/adobe.com/wiki/index.php/ColdFusion_8 Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:287768 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4

Re: Easy-to-develop recurring billing?
This week I uploaded my cfc for dealing with Authorize.Net's recurring billing API. http://AuthorizeNetRecurring.riaforge.org/ Crap, I just finished my CFC last week but hadn't posted it yet... I had an issue where the Authnet service returns three junk characters at the beginning of the returned XML string, did you happen to run across that? Their tech said ColdFusion has bugs parsing XML. I wrote back saying I think it's the Authnet service that's buggy, most XML parsers would choke on three ascii 65533 characters but I never heard back. I had to remove them manually with a replace. -- Josh ~| Get involved in the latest ColdFusion discussions, product development sharing, and articles on the Adobe Labs wiki. http://labs/adobe.com/wiki/index.php/ColdFusion_8 Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:286394 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
Re: Easy-to-develop recurring billing?
I know the Authorize.net API for recurring billing just debuted a couple of months ago (they were horribly slow in putting it together), so I'd be surprised if someone's already whipped up a CFC / UDF for it...if there is one, give us a link! Glad to hear they finally implemented something. Did they do some announcement of this? Seems the only emails I get from them tend to be less useful information. While implementing some recurring billing features into the latest version of my software, I was particularly impressed with Shift4's tokenization technology which allows you to save a token in your application without any associated card data, which you can then resend to their API for rebilling the card,and allows for total flexibility and control on your end for how to control the rebilling. Very easy to use without the typical security issues. --- Mary Jo ~| Get the answers you are looking for on the ColdFusion Labs Forum direct from active programmers and developers. http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/categories.cfm?forumid-72catid=648 Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:286400 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
Re: Easy-to-develop recurring billing?
I have to second Payflow Pro ... I opted for that over Authorize.net because it supports payment history, allowing users to do an inquiry via the API and get a query set back with all the payments they made. In my research I never saw that Authorize allowed that and it was a sticking point for my clients. Implementing Payflow Pro was a SNAP. They have really good documentation and you can just use the CFX_PayflowPro tag to send your info on through. Lots of options exist for various billing situations. The only drawback is the price for PFP is pretty high. ~| ColdFusion is delivering applications solutions at at top companies around the world in government.

RE: Easy-to-develop recurring billing?
Payflowpro is a good service that I used for an eCommerce solution a few years back. There's a CF tag floating around out there somewhere. PayPal also offers a good SDK for CF7 that I've implemented to the point of a fully-operational demo, but haven't put it into production yet. It's on my forever-long TODO list.

Single billings are typically managed thru Auth.net's AIM interface. And for that there are indeed several tags out there. I have one of running now and auth.net would be my preferred provider. But my primary need is recurring billing, which is gotten to (at auth.net, at least) via an entirely different API -- and they do not provide any sort of sample code for that method. Nor are there any custom tags for it.

Re: Easy-to-develop recurring billing?
Authorize.net. There are several tags for it. Problem is, you have to manually set recurring billing up through your merchant area, there is no API to do it. There are really two ways to do recurring billing through the application, use a gateway that supports it through an API (PaymentOnline I believe is one that does for instance) or store the card data and use a scheduled transaction to do the rebilling yourself. If you don't want to store card data, an option is to use a processor like Shift4 that supports tokenization where you can rebill the card without storing the actual card number.
