Has anyone worked with Autorize.net's recurring billing platform for the web.

Utilizing:
ARB application programming interface (API).

How much is involved to integrate this into opencart's authorize.net module ?

I created a recurring system for paypal. I could try to see what is involved with Authorize.net's recurring system.

I'll try to gather some prelim info for you to save you time.

They have two pdf files and a link for the "sample code"

Automated Recurring Billing (ARB) API Guide
For merchants enabled for the Automated Recurring Billing (ARB) service, the additional ARB API feature supports integration with a Web site payment form or a proprietary business application—allowing online customers or sales representatives using a business application to select and submit subscription- or installment-based payments.
Expand payment options for online and mail order/telephone order (MOTO) customers, potentially increasing sales.
Create, update, and cancel subscriptions programmatically.
Utilize Authorize.Net's secure data center to store payment information safely for recurring transactions.

Hello Qhoria,

Did you ever get a chance to look at the recurring billing patch from Authorize.Net ?

Any ideas what would be involved to integrate.

Yea I just looked at it. It's a completely separate system from the normal payment system. This would be a commercial mod. Probably looking at around $40. Let me know if interested

Q,
I sent you a private message

Q,

Here is another link you may find useful.

Hey Q, I sent you out a private message yesterday ... but not sure if you recieved it.
my email is acting weird on the opencart forum platform for some reason.

Yes I got it

Hey Q,

Got any feedback for me on the recurring billing bit.
Did you want to dig in to it.
Let me know what your thinking on the matter, if you would.

I've got to call authorize.net shortly on some other matters.

You can send me a PM if you prefer.
thx

I've looked at it briefly. I'm just finishing up a few other jobs, then I will able to tackle this one. A couple days I will get back to you

Awesome !

thx

Hey Q,
Did you ever dig into this one any more ? I would probably use that one on a 1.34 cart or the 1.40.

Let me know. I could do set up with autorize.net for manual entry on their website, but ...
many customers may not want to give up their CC number over the phone. and I think this mod could come in hand for many opencart applications.

Has anyone worked with Authorize.net's API for automatic recurring billing on opencart ?

Ain't Authorize.net already in the core package? Isn't it working?

regular authorize.net is in the core, but not reoccurring. The only reoccurring billing option that is available at this point in time that I know of is Q's reoccurring paypal module, but in another thread somewhere he said he is either working or considering working on a reoccurring authnet module. I'm sure you could raise the priority with some green.

Thanks XSecrets, I didn't realize there was a Paypal recurring mod. I'll check it out. That would be the way to go for now. Authorize.net does have some coding available for their platform, but that's way above my level of competence. Q, was taking a look at it some time back.

I'll use the paypal for now.

Yea.. it is still on my todo list ... gotta work on bringing it back up

Hey Q,

Is your PayPal recurring billing module for their standard paypal setup ... or is it for their
Pro Version (which requires $30 per month for the Pro and $30 per month for the recurring feature) ?

With their standard Paypal recurring billing (the paying customer must have a Paypal account) but Paypal doesn't charge more for this feature if it runs on the standard deal.
