So a few questions after reading some of the articles for those in the know,
1. How can a Non US citizen get a Merchant Account?
2. I just want to confirm that the Credit card is valid, (or maybe get a token payment.) (I want to confirm that you CAN pay for the service, the first month is free.) Is Authorise.net good for something like this. What is a good price to charge as a token payment?
I would assume you would set up a subscription based service where the first month is free and every month after that is a certain fee. This would all be setup with the payment gateway of choice, such as Authorize.net. You would set it up in a manner that would allow the customer to have the first month free, and then Authorize.net would charge their credit card every month for whatever fee you set up. Authorize.net would be responsible for making sure the credit card is valid and processing the payment.
