I’m trying to process recurring payments through Authorize.Net with the following requirements:

  • Payment processing would be initiated by us

  • Customer would enter card data on first transaction only. We would bill the card monthly, with potentially different amounts but would not have the card data present.

  • Want to require the CVV on first transaction. If it succeeds, when we
    bill the card monthly, CVV would not be required for transactions
    later.

  • We do not want to stored sensitive information like credit card data.
    User would have option later to specify a different card or
    update their profile (this can be done by SOAP, XML or any commonly
    available method)

  • This would include echeck transactions

Effectively, we’re trying to create a similar experience as Amazon, where you enter the card data once. When you buy in the future, you only select your profile/(card and shipping address) you want to use and the payment goes through, without entering in card or CVV again. The only difference is, we’re initiating the payments in the future as our services are subscription based.

My initial thought was using CIM. However, due to the 3rd requirement, CIM may not work for this as it doesn’t store the CVV. What’s the best route to achieve the result we’re after?

    You do not need to use AIM for the first payment. Just use CIM and send the CVV code with the payment profile. Authorize.NET will not store the CVV code, but, it will verify it once and remember the card is verified for charges against the payment profile. We’ve been using this method for over a year and have had no issues.
