I'm still in the process of setting up a pay membership system for the web application I'm currently working on. One of the products we wanted to integrate was recurring billing.I haven't set up anything like this before, so its all new to me.

I am going thru "moneris" not sure if any of you guys have heard of them. The problem lies within their recurring billing.

When a charge gets authorized for the monthly fee the database is updated. When the card is denied in for example month 3 or 4, what do I do? The only way to find this out is to manually go in and check.

Any body come across this situtation?

Any recommendations on what to do ? I guess we could check for it daily, but would rather not.



Thanks alot

Mike,

I used to work for an e-Commerce provider and we had a postback utility wich notified every merchant (like your site) after each transaction (online, recurring)
So ask your payment processor if they have something like that.
Basicly you'll need to prepare some simple script which expects a bunch of parameters posted from the payment processor.

if changing the provider is still an option - try www.paysystems.com
