Notifications on payments are not reliable. 2. Expired Cards are not updated - Nice little cheat her, you can update a credit card adding 2 years to the experation year and it works a fair amount without customer interaction. 3. I know there was a 3rd but I'll stop here I can't remember the exact reason why we switched to CIM processing but it's amazing... you just need to handle your own recurring cycles and re-charge attempts based on decline reasons. It's a bit more work going CIM route, but then again I know 100% what's valid in my system every day, what's in re-try mode for declines, what we canceled because of re-try attempts that continue to decline etc. Think that's similar to Shift4 they provide a Authorize.Net provides a CustomerID and PaymentID because you can have multiple cards associated with one profile. then you just select the CustomerId PaymentId and amount to charge each month. http://www.authorize.net/solutions/merchantsolutions/merchantservices/cim/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
