 {{:merchant_guide:sbmc_addcsa.png|Adding a Custom Subscription Adjustment}}
+==== Custom Subscription Adjustments and Authorize.Net ARB subscriptions ====
+Please note the following about applying a custom subscription adjustment to an Authorize.Net Automated Recurring Billing (ARB) subscription:
+  * If the subscription is altered after it has been created, but before the first payment is processed, then the first recurring payment is processed for the adjusted amount. This is because - when using Authorize.Net ARB - payments are processed around 2 AM PST of the following day, so there is some time to adjust the subscription after it has been created, and before the payment is processed. Even if the adjustment is an increase in the subscription amount, no pro-rated charge is added, since the first payment has not yet been processed.
+  * If the subscription is altered after the first recurring payment has been processed, the adjustment will apply to the next recurring payment. If the adjustment is an increase in the subscription amount, a pro-rated charge may apply, as described in the previous section.
