Recurring Billing

Let them make payments!

You can increase your sales through the use of eCOMpal's Recurring Billing option. It's easy to set up and will give you long term revenue.

Here are the options you can pass with the order line to set up an order for multiple payments:

• &Wait - Tells eCOMpal to do an authorize only on the credit card for this transaction. You'd add &wait=1 to your link.
   
• &Payments - a number indicating the number of payments that are to be made. -1 in Payments is used for continuous recurring billing until cancelled. You'd add &Payments=n, where n=the number of payments to your liink
   
• &Time - an indicator of how often payments are to be made: M=monthly, Q=quarterly, Y=annually, D=days. This can be followed by the quantity to be used. For example if you added &Time=D30 to your link, the eCOMpal Recurring Billing would occur every 30 days. Or, &Time=M6 would set up a 6 month recurring billing. If you don't specify the number eCOMpal automatically uses 30 if it's D for days and 1 for any other time indicator

As you can see, it's very easy to set up and will be very powerful.

Here's some samples of what you might add to set up recurring billing for different situations.

• &wait=1&time=D30&Payments=1 - This will set up a 30 day free trial. When the order is placed it will do an Authorize Only transaction to confirm that credit card is valid and that the purchase has sufficient credit on the card to afford the purchase. After 30 days, it will bill the card for one payment of whatever the order amount is.
   
• &Payments=3&time=D30 - This will set up a 3 payment order with each payment made at 30 day intervals. The first payment, including shipping charges will be made the day of the order, the second payment 30 later and the third payment 30 days after that. So, if your product sold for $99 and there was 4.75 shipping your customer would be be billed as follows.
  
  The day of the order $33 + 4.75 shipping, or $37.75 plus sales tax, if any, on the $33.
  
  30 days later $33 plus sales tax, if any on the $33.
  
  30 days after that, $33 plus sales tax, if any, on the $33.
   
• &Payments=-1&time=M - This will set up continuous monthly billing of whatever the order amount is. If the order amount is $25, your customer will be billed every month for $25.
