Does an ARB Subscription Authorize the card?

bobbydoogle — Mon, 01 Dec 2014 19:00:22 GMT

In setting up an ARB subscription I did not think about authorizing the card to make sure it has the funds/is valid. In creating a subscription is there no automatic authorization? Should I run an authorize method as well? If the card is not charged right away would running an authorize be standard practice?

I'm working in C# MVC application in sandbox btw.

Hello @bobbydoogle

A new recurring billing request does not currently validate the card data submitted. Instead, you will need to do that within your application.

You are welcome to post this as a new feature using our Ideas forum. This will allow others to vote on and make suggestions to improve the request.
