title: Magento Recurring Billing Solutions
body: <p>Magento is a great product but out-of-the-box it really lacks recurring billing support. I've come to a crossroads with my current project and need some direction.</p>
  
  <p>We have exhausted every Google search and module that is under the sun for Magento to support recurring billing the way we need it to. So far, all we have come across is one module that costs $300 by aHeadWorks in the UK. We've tried the module and are extremely disappointed so far, mainly just due to total lack of support and documentation; Nobody seems to have the knowledge to answer our questions, or even attempt to.</p>
  
  <p>Our goals are simple and we cannot figure out why there aren't more solutions out there to do this, so the question becomes, what is everyone else doing?</p>
  
  <p>All we need to do is the following:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Provide subscriptions for items such as web hosting, text message marketing, etc.</li>
  <li>Tie into our merchant account and authorize.net</li>
  <li>Keep the customer on our site at all times</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Skrill Moneybookers &amp; their module isn't compatible with what we need to do (at least in the US). PayPal sucks and wants to hold our money back and also wants to redirect customers to their site to setup a billing agreement. iTransact services are fantastic but there is one module that is 2 years+ old and has no support.</p>
