What are the salient differences between SIM and DPM??

Which one is more appropriate for accepting donations on a website and being SAQ-A compliant vs. SAQ-C compliant??

Does SIM work with ARB?? Authnet support says DPM doesn't work with ARB.

The API comparison isn't sufficiently detailed...

Thank you, Tom

DPM is essentially an extension of SIM, they have largely the same functionality and limitations. It is not possible to directly generate a subscription using SIM.

If I program a form to accept donations through DPM, where do we retrieve the donor's information so we can thank them etc.??

I understand we'd only be able to do one-time donations with DPM.

What's the best way to set up things so we know the donor's information like name, email, etc.??

Thank you, Tom

The DPM process is designed to post the results of the transaction back to your site so that you can generate the appropriate receipt page.
