We have a client that is thinking of using an online payment system
called Authorizenet. They plan to use them for their subscription sign
up, but evidently there is a problem getting it to implement properly.


Does anyone know about this system.   Where might our client go to
find trusted help in implementing this thing.

Where's your client located, sherpaj?  Is she/he already working with
an Authorizenet reseller?

Hello sherpaj-ga
Worldpay's (http://www.worldpay.com) subscription based payment system
(called Futurepay http://www.worldpay.com/usa/products_services/billing.shtml
) has been running for almost 2 years now. I've been using it without
any hiccups. It allows an initial subscription which can be delayed
e.g. 1 day, 2 weeks or any period desired, the initial amount can be a
different figure than the following subscription amounts e.g. if you
are selling a plan that includes a setup charge and the system
automatically bills in the period you set it too, every month or every
week etc. The subscription can be terminated by the merchant and the
customer in the Worldpay account area.
