Recurring Billing / Mail Order Goods?

[Lee]

Does anyone know if it is possible to do recurring billing on a monthly basis for a mail order product?

So someone buys producta tomorrow and it gets shipped out then 30 days later, they are billed again and another product gets shipped out etc etc?

Regards,

You don't ask the easy one's do you? :coffee:

I'd say if there is a will there is a way, you might have to call it, say a club or membership of some kind, where they get the new item monthly but as far as the CC processor is concerned its a membership site... unless you use your own merchant account, then shouldn't be a problem at all.. least I'd not think there would be but then one and one is four right? :juggle:

LOL Ian.

If theres a hard way to do something i can guarantee ill be the one to find it

I had already thought about the 'club' aspect but i honestly dont think that would work well from a marketing perspective for the product we have

Hopefully NetBilling or one of the third party processors like Epoch or CCBill will know for sure :thumbsup:

A possible way you could get away with it I would think would be to have a membership site, where the members area is product info and updates, and the membership fee includes the price of the product, but the product is "free with site membership", then every month that they remain a member of the site another free product is shipped to them. If the site can contain some sort of "exclusive information", or if it is an adult item with explicit pictures, usage instructions, etc then you have a reason for having the members area.

If the reason you are asking is because of the "no physical goods" rule of most cc processors, wouldnt this get around it?

Sounds like the "Fruit of the Month" thing that petrified Marie and her husband on "Everybody Loves Raymond."

Isn't that like "Girls gone wild" That they send you a new video each month until you cancel.

I'm sure there is a way to do it.

Hm well yeah it can be done. We have done it before with a few acquiring banks. It is a little tricky & they review your policies - well actually they reviewed this one client's because of his previous chargeback history. So if you are a new business with this - it should be somewhat pretty simple. Plus it depends what type of products (I have to ask especially since it is this kind of forum )
