@johny
Thanx for reply.
But what i want is i want to check it pogramatically and send email through my website.
for ex:- I store the subscription_id for each user when they subscribed through my site when next payment date will come at that date i want to check payment is happen or not using that subscription_id and if it not done i want to expired his membership of my website and send an email to notify him/fer so.

If you use Silent Post you will be notified that the payment failed when the subscription is charged.

@Manoj, You cannot charge a credit card using an ARB subscription. You’ll need to use CIM for that.

@Leighton, I’m not sure if they do need to re-enter that information or not. I think they do but I’m not 100% sure. You should hit the Authorize.Net developer forums and ask there.

Hi,

After creating a automated recurring billing, is it possible for me to charge the user using the subscription id , and the amount to be charged one time , say for example, an add-on payment apart from the recurring monthly payment ?

Thanks,
Manoj

I also ran into that bug, and after some careful debugging found out about the subscriptionId thing. If the example could be updated, it may save some people some hair. Thanks for the great tutorial though John!

One more question: Do users have to re-enter their credit card and billing info even if all that needs to be changed is the interval_length and amount?

Sincerely,
Leighton Whiting

Thank you for this very helpful walk-through.

I think I may have spotted a typo in your updateAccount() example. The parameter subscriptionId is actually named subscrId in the AuthnetARB.class.phps. Once I changed that, my updates began working.
