Recurring Transactions

DataCash supports a range of services designed to process your subscription and instalment payments by Bank Card and Direct Debit.

There is a range of "flavours" available to suit your requirements including: Fire and Forget, Capture Method, and Historic Transactions.

Fire and Forget

Set up a recurring payments schedule with one instruction and let DataCash manage all subsequent transactions on a recurring transactions merchant ID (Not needed for Direct Debits). Fire and Forget is suitable where instalments are of fixed amounts, although the first and last payment may vary, e.g. A home entertainment company could invoice a customer for a TV with payments spread over 36 months on a fixed payment plan.

Historic Transactions (Bank Card Only) >>

This allows you to send DataCash a recurring transaction set up request with the initial transaction made on a customer's card. DataCash then allocate a unique reference number to that card. This allows you to send through subsequent authorisation requests on a recurring transactions merchant ID using only this reference number. All card details are stored on DataCash's secure servers relieving your security liability. The amount and frequency of each instalment can vary, e.g. A mobile phone company could invoice a customer each month for call charges incurred in the previous month.

Capture Method (Bank Card Only) >>

This allows you to send DataCash a recurring transaction set up request with the initial transaction made on a customer's card. Subsequent authorisation requests can then be sent through on a recurring transactions merchant ID, allowing you to instigate each payment on that card. The amount and frequency of each instalment can vary, e.g. A music downloads company could invoice a customer as and when they purchase music regardless of the amount and without having to take the customer's card details each time.
