Recurring Payments tokens are subset of multi-use tokens with the following restriction types:
Pre-determined fixed amount (Specified at the time of token installation.)
Regular interval
For example, a subscription for a magazine which charges users $9.99 every month for one year starting on the 10th of March 2008.
Usage limit restriction: A maximum of once a month
Fixed Transaction Amount: Transaction amount is $9.99
Token Validity: Token expires on 10 March 2009 11:59:59 PM PST
The recurring token installation process is similar to single-use token installation process. However, a recurring token pipeline accepts different parameters as key-value pair inputs to the pipeline. You must use a recurring token Installation Pipeline if the amount is fixed and frequency of usage is pre-determined. The following are some of the parameters passed during the installation of a recurring payment token:
CallerKey = AWS Access Key
PipelineName = Recurring
Payment Reason = Reason for setting up this token
Recipient = Recipient token
Return URL = The URL of the page to which the user is redirected back after the token is installed.
See the Recurring-use Token Installation Pipeline for more information on the parameters passed in a recurring payments token installation pipeline.
