When a subscription is created, there are many cases in which a payment is not processed. For example, a gym membership with a 7-day free trial, an online gaming Web site subscription with a "First Month Free" promotion, etc. | When a subscription is created, there are many cases in which a payment is not processed.

To avoid creating a subscription for a customer that is using invalid credit card information (e.g. invalid card security code), SubscriptionBridge allows you to authorize the card and stop the customer from proceeding if an authorization is not received. | To avoid creating a subscription for a customer that is using invalid credit card information (e.g. invalid card security code), SubscriptionBridge allows you to authorize the card and stop the customer from proceeding if an authorization is not received. | ||

+ | * The reason why you can choose both a $1 authorization and a ZDA (Zero Dollar Authorization) is that if you know that your processor does not support ZDAs, it does not make sense to have SubscriptionBridge attempt a $0 authorization every time and then fail back onto a $1 authorization. In that scenario, it makes more sense to select $1 authorizations from the start. | ||
