The repeat billing facility, also known as
continuous payment authority or recurring payments, is an internet-based
equivalent of direct debit facilities. It enables your customers to pay for
goods or services in installments - agreeing for you to take fixed or variable
amounts from their debit or credit card.

What is the repeat billing facility?
The recurring billing tool allows you to create, update, and search for recurring billing records. Once you set up your recurring billing records, we do the rest, processing the recurring transactions for the amount, at the frequency, and over the time period that you specify. With all our payment processing accounts the recurring billing option is provided FREE.
Repeat payments can be set-up manually using the virtual terminal or online using the API (all accounts)

Subscriptions and Memberships
Please be aware that the high-risk / adult repeat billing facility is more manual. Once a customers credit card details are completed and submitted, the information is then validated and saved securely. An ID for the card entered is given, which will be stored with the subscription record, for future billing. The card is charged using the stored card details and will either confirm their payment or inform you that the card was declined.
MasterCard recently announced changes on how authorisations for Recurring and MOTO transactions have to be sent. MasterCard is no longer allowing pre-authorisations for Recurring and MOTO to be sent out for all MasterCard transactions. Instead, MasterCard now states that Recurring and MOTO transactions must be sent out as final authorisations.
