Pausing Recurring payments made through Authorize.net: Just asking for info

    If the form is set up for recurring charges and I need to pause recurring billing for a customer as needed in the future, would I log into authorize.net and do that?

    Thanks for the reply.
    I communicated with auth.net this morning, and i can log into their system and set customers up for subscription payment after they have signed up online. I can also pause or cancel payment. It is cumbersome and out of the scope of my ability to make a form that processes up front and subscription fees and communicates these to auth.net. I verified with auth.net that if fees are transmitted to them as one time fees, I can then go in and manually set up subscription (recurring) fees as necessary. I can also pause or cancel recurring fees as necessary, or switch customers from a certain recurring fee to another (if they want a higher or lower monthly plan).
    Sincerely,

    Hi dbcarr34,
    To confirm, you would like to know if pausing your customers payment would be done through JotForm or Authorize.net?
    Since the payment information is sent to Authorize.net, any changes to that would need to be done through them.
    I did do some research and I am not seeing where it is possible to pause a recurring payment or skip it when using their Automated Recurring Billing. So if your payments are every six months, you are not able to skip one and then a payment is taken a year later.
    You can set the intervals for the subscriptions but it does not appear possible to skip an interval. I am seeing where you would have to cancel the subscription and then have the customer enter their information again to subscribe and the desired time.
    I am seeing where it is stated that there Customer Information Manager does provide you with more freedom: http://www.authorize.net/solutions/merchantsolutions/merchantservices/cim/
    You would have to consult with them regarding those options and for more clarity.
    I hope this helps. Please inform us if we can assist you with anything further.
