The gateway supports three separate recurring billing options.

Traditional

  • The merchant will setup and bill a single cardholder via credit card of ACH

e-Check, a specific dollar amount on a specific day for an indefinite or specified period of time.

Expanded/Plan Recurring Billing

  • The merchant creates a plan and then can associate an unlimited number

of cardholders with the plan.

  • The plan approach provides simplicity when the time comes to update

the plan.

  • When the merchant changes the dollar amount to be charged or the timing

of the charges all associated cardholders are affected immediately.

Modifiable Recurring Billing

  • Using the Batch Upload feature, the merchant can create an excel

spreadsheet, .CSV or .TXT file to be uploaded as often as needed.

  • This feature provides the merchant with the simplicity of recurring billing

and the ability to change any related billing information including the dollar amount.

  • If the merchant elects to create an excel worksheet, the template can

be saved within the gateway and used for subsequent processing and settlement.

  • The Batch Upload process can process 50,000 transactions within

approximately 90 minutes.
