WARNING: Authorize.net does not process subscription transactions in real time. Creating a subscription transaction successfully does not guarantee subscription payments will process through your Authorize.net account successfully.

Subscription transactions are processed at approximately 2:00 a.m. Pacific Time on scheduled payment dates. Therefore, the first scheduled transaction is not sent to the customer's bank for authorization until approximately 2:00 a.m. Pacific Time on the start date that you specify when you create the subscription in your Authorize.net account.

If you create a subscription with a start date that equals the creation date, the first scheduled payment does not process until after 2:00 a.m. the following day. This is purely a function of how Authorize.net's recurring billing works. WishList Member™ has no control over this. You can read more about Authorize.net Recurring Billing and Subscriptions here.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The integration charges a one cent ($0.01) payment to the card when a subscription is created in order to ensure the credit card is valid. That payment is immediately refunded once the card is validated successfully.
