Thu28Apr 2016: Auto Topup is retired long live AutoPay
Auto Topup the old Credit Card automatic payment system has been retired, given a gold watch and has moved to Switzerland, where it can achieve its bucket list ambition of visiting all the Banks in all the Cantons.
AutoPay a more powerful, easier to use system will take its place.
Fri 22 Apr 2016: AutoPay with 3 styles, cards and DD released into "General Use"
Multiple account connection options:
- The overall concept has been made more general and now one can connect several payment accounts to AutoPay
- Each style can connect to a selected account (e.g. Daily Topup can use Credit Card, Monthly can use Direct Debit)
Instant and Daily Topup styles have been added to the existing Monthly style
- Instant is a manually initiated payment, but our Payment Service Provider (RealEx) remembers the card details on their network
- Daily Topup is an automatic payment, that checks the customer balance every 10 minutes and does a maximum of one automatic topop per day
- Monthly is an automatic payment, which prepares an estimate, and notifies the customer on a fixed "notice date", does the transfer on the Transfer Date, and then confirms the result of the Transfer on the Confirmation Date
Handy instant pay options are being added throughout the system so that customers can easily get started with AutoPay
Roadmap and ideas
Should dmClub be supporting other types of account with AutoPay, (paypal, Bitcoin)?
Should autopay support initial orders?
