I know that at some point there was a discussion about about the DGC systems to have rebilling just like credit / debit cards. Now I have an idea for those who are interested.
Automatic rebilling is impossible, but there is still the possiblity for merchants to make *payment requests*. A payment request would be like a (paper) bill. There are two steps to create a payment request: 1. A DGC user pays a merchant for something. In the payment form (the payment URL), the merchant includes a special option for what would later be the foundation for a payment request; this option can be changed by the user, if he doesnt' like it. This option has two values: "YES" and "NO". With the "YES" value, the DGC system is instructed to save the merchant's account number into a special list of accounts, list that belongs to the payer (and is separate for each DGC account holder); this list is necessary to avoid potential spam. There should also be another option: the expiration date of the payment request. This list (which should also be manually editable by the account holder) contains account numbers from where a payment request can be made (by the owner of that account). A payment request is not approved if the account which makes payment request is not found in this list (of the payer). 2. Later, the merchant can make a payment request to the same payer. Because the merchant's account was saved in the special list of the payer, the payment request is approved by the system and is put in a bills list of the payer (= the payment requests inbox). Each payment request receives a unique identifier, which will later be used by the merchant to check (in his history) if the client has paid the bill. Each payment request of the merchant is put into another list: the payment requests outbox. When a payment request is received into an account, the DGC system sends an email to the account holder to notify him of the pending bill. When a payment request is about to expire (for example, 5 days before the expiration date), the DGC system sends another notification email. Each DGC account holder has access from his control panel, to the bills list, just like he has access to the history list. In the bills list, the account holder can see what he has to pay: pending bills and expired (= not paid) bills. The account holder can decide at any time to pay any bill, and so to complete the payment request. When a bill is paid, it is moved into the history list (for both the payer and the payee). An expired bill is also moved into the history, after (for example) 30 days. In this way, this system works like an automatic credit / debit card rebilling system, but with far greater flexibility.
