Magazine Subscription and Mail Order Recurring Billing Credit Card Processing To a Merchant Account
Processing credit cards for magazine subscriptions on a recurring billing method like debit order by credit card to a merchant account using a mail order merchant facility is easy these days using PaySubs, PayBatch and/or PayBill from PayGate payment gateway.
Mail order companies such as Media24, Caravan Publications, Panorama Publications, Odyssey Magazine, Ramsey Parker who publish Getaway, Car and other magazines, sell their magazines on a recurring billing method and need to bill their customers monthly, quarterly or annually and sometimes intermittently on an ad hoc basis.
PayGate's PaySubs is as easy as pie for mail order companies to use - you just load up the customer, credit card, billing amount, date of debit and end date, and the PayGate payment gateway debit order by credit card system automatically takes the amount off the subscriber's credit card for you.
For companies who would like to send batches of hundreds of transactions through for processing, PayBatch is ideal and gives the mail order merchant a file back with approved and declined transactions which can be automatically entered into their system.
Then for random transactions there is PayBill, a tool which the mail order merchant can issue an invoice for a magazine subscription by email with a link which the cardholder clicks and pays. The big advantage of this is that mail order companies don't have to store the credit card and 3D secure can be used for enhanced fraud detection and prevention.
So, life is now made easy for publishing houses who want to process mail order credit card transactions using recurring billing for magazine subscriptions as you would for a debit order, in batches, automatically or one by one to merchant facility or merchant account with a bank of their choice.
