I operate a couple of forums that use Authorize.net to collect payments from
members using vBulletin's paid subscription system. Currently, if I want payment
to be recurring, I have to log in to Authorize.net and make a payment recurring,
and set the recurring period and amount. I then have to adjust the vBulletin
Paid Subscription to match Authorize.net. Then, if a member want's to cancel, I
have to log in to Authorize.net, look up their transaction and cancel it. I then
have to log in to vBulletin and adjust the member's paid subscription through
the date of payment in Authorize.net.
There have been many requests for vBulletin to add recurring billing support for
Authorize.net. The reason, from what I understand, that these requests have not
been fulfilled is that Authorize.net requires that the credit card information
of the member be stored on the server, and vBulletin doesn't want to be
responsible for code that stores credit card information.
However, with the introduction of Customer Information Manager (CIM)
http://developer.authorize.net/guides/ it appears that you can now manage a
subscription using only a unique customer identification number:

"How CIM Works
Your Web site integrates to CIM via an Application Programming Interface (API).
Through the API, you can create, view, update and delete customer profiles that
include billing, payment and shipping information. When a transaction is
processed, a customer profile is created and stored on our secure servers. You
receive a Customer Reference ID for that particular customer profile. From then
on, you need only submit the Customer Reference ID in place of all customer
information, including billing, payment and shipping information.
Combining CIM with Automated Recurring Billing (ARB) will make it possible to
manage recurring billing transactions from within vBulletin without storing
credit card numbers on the server."

I understand that vBulletin can be slow to implement changes, so I would like to
present this as a Product challenge. Please provide proof of your vBulletin
experience and hopefully experience with Authorize.net's APIs.
The terms are as follows:
1. We will enter into a work contract specifying scope and timing of the
project.
2. I will retain rights to the code, and may choose to sell the Product once it
is developed.
3. Payment will be made into escrow.com in full. You will receive full payment
once a fully functional Product has been delivered.
4. You should be available to be contacted by telephone - and overall not be a
shady character. I will want you to update the Product for future versions, and
of course will pay you for each update.
The scope of the Product is as follows:
1. Uses the AIM method of payment collection, as well as ARB and CIM APIs from
Authorize.net. The product should work both with credit card payments and echeck
payments.
2. The Product is installable without file edits. Is fully templated, etc. In
other words, it is a fully developed Product, and not simply a series of file
and template edits.
3. It is easily configurable from within the AdminCP.
4. The member can request a paid subscription, select the option, enter their
billing information, etc. and receive an email receipt as well as an onscreen
confirmation all from within https://www.mydomain.com.
5. The member may cancel their subscription and behind the scenes using CIM,
vBulletin will cancel the ARB subscription with Authorize.net.
6. Although billing information is passed through my server to Authorize.net and
responses are received, no billing information is stored on my server.
