   * **$1.00 Authorization** \\ SubscriptionBridge will do an "authorize-only" transaction for $1, then void the transaction immediately after it was authorized.

No charges are ever debited, and the transaction will disappear automatically from the customer's transactions record. The amount authorized, however, is "reserved" until it is removed from the account.

 +Other notes on this feature:
 +
 +  * 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.
 +  * **PayPal Website Payments Pro** and **Authorize.net** are handled the same way with regard to this feature.
 +  * This feature is not supported by **PayPal Express Checkout**.
