Recurring payment processor needed

[fiaskow]

Hi all,

I need to set up a simple recurring billing scheme (credit card most likely, I think that'll be the easiest for the consumer to give consent) for a subscription service. Billing to be done bi-annually.

Something like the PayPal buttons (https://www.paypal.com/za/checkout-buttons) would work very well, except I can't bill in ZAR.

I see that mygate has a recurring credit card payment option, it'll need a bit of development on my side to complete, and I'm not sure if I'll have to open a CC merchant account with a bank for this.

Are you aware of any other payment processors that can supply this functionality (for ZAR), local or international?

Thanks, I see that the recurring subscriptions can only be processed by Standard Bank and Nedbank. I still need to find out with which bank my client banks.

I wish paypal would get zar currency final. It's in the pipeline I've been waiting for ages. Truth is there nothing better than paypal api. It rocks.

We used vcs for this a few years ago. Had no paypal to fall back on back then.

The problem here is you'd need a merchant account with a bank usually. PayPal is your best bet and it's not much of a pain in the ass to get to work with ZAR. You show the client R200 (or whatever) and charge the equivalent in $ when sending the request to paypal.

I've driven most of my business (and I know some other businesses who do the same) and it's been pretty successful.

With your subscription being bi-annual, the banking fee's of extracting from PayPal is minimal since you'll do a decent amount at once, plus you can ride out the wave and perhaps even make a few more extra bucks by just "cashing out" when the Rand sucks on the US dollar's $%%^$@#@
