Hi,
I read an article here: http://www.adviceinteractivegroup.com/authorize-nets-recurring-billing-solutions/
and the interesting part for me is:
The first limitation is that the initial transaction will not be processed until the following day. If you want to give your website visitor access to a service immediately, you must also use the Authorize.Net AIM (Advanced Integration Method) API. The Authorize.Net website says “AIM allows merchants to host their own secure payment form on a website” and is commonly used for processing one time transactions in real time. To combine these two, you would first process the user’s payment with the AIM API; once the transaction is successful, you would then perform the ARB setup setting the start date for the time which you want the second payment to be drafted. There is another solution that Authorize.Net offers that will save you from having to work with two API’s, which I will discuss in a moment.
OK, so CIM should process transactions immediately, right? Can you confirm that? I am asking because in test account all my transaction are scheduled to be processed at: Transaction Cut-Off Time: 4:00 PM PDT. Why is that? Can I have realtime transaction with CIM?
Best regards
