The gateway I am using is Cardsave (http://www.cardsave.net). I obviously can't store credit cards on my servers, but to store credit cards on their servers, there needs to be an initial transaction. I am writing a billing management website that customers are going to be migrating to from other systems. There wouldn't be a reason to have their clients pay in between billing cycles.
The only solution I can think of is making a small payment to the credit card (like $1, PayPal style) and then either crediting this amount back to the customer on the next billing cycle, or issuing a refund. Is this the correct approach?
Is this the common way of handling recurring monthly 'subscriptions' where the amount is variable every month and don't start right away. For instance, is this how trial periods that require your credit card information to start is handled?
$1 charges are no longer allowed by Visa and MasterCard. You can do $0 authorizations so if your processor allows that you'll probably be able to do your original plan.
Some payment gateway providers, like Authorize.Net, offer services that allow you to create payment profiles and charge against them at any time for any amount. Their service is called Customer Information Manager. You should see if your provider offers a similar service.
For Cardsave Payment gateway you have Automated Subscriptions and Cross Reference Transaction Code Examples

I am working on integrating Recurring Payments functionality in Asp.Net based application where people can subscribe to a Service where they will be paying a monthly amount. I am trying to achieve the same using PayPal's Subscription APIs. One another aspect is where people will be making payments using their Credit Card instead of PayPal's account. I have tried to search for a sample code where I can see that Credit Card information is passed to the Subscription API but unable to find the same. Can anyone points me to a sample code where this is implemented or guide me on how I can do this?
PayPal does provide a Subscription only API for PayPal payments or Guest Checkout where buyer's prompt to create PayPal personal account. To achieve a Credit card subscription I'd reckon to refer to Braintree Vaulting functionality wherein you can have both Credit Card & PayPal.
Braintree Vault Overview:
Our Braintree Vault securely stores customer information – including payment method information – so you can safely keep customers on file.
The Vault is used to process payments with our recurring billing feature, and can also be used for non-recurring transactions so your customers don't need to re-enter their information each time they make a purchase from you.

Does anybody know of a way to charge a customer 30 days later on WooCommerce? We use Stripe as our payment method.
We want to allow customers to "Buy now and pay later"
I thought WooCommerce Deposits would be perfect but unfortunately, they do not offer an automatic charge, you have to have the customer pay through a link later.
You may try to use Stripe's Charge API with the auth and capture flow. This way first you authorize the transaction - i.e. reserve the money on the account. To do this, you need to send a capture: false parameter when making the charge request.
Later you need to issue a capture charge call, otherwise the auth will be released, meaning you won't get the money at all.
Read the docs on Stripe how long do they hold the auth part for, usually it's 7 or 14 days on other providers.
I need to integrate subscription billing using alipay. Does Alipay support subscriptions? . I got a sample project for 'overseas auto debit service'. Is this same like subscritions in paypal?
Well, in comparison to CloudPayments, it is not exactly the same, as I understood.
According to https://global.alipay.com/service/debit/3 the process consists of two steps:
Customer agreement signing
Invoking payment process by merchant with reference to the agreement
It gives an opportunity to conduct withholding payment without repeated user confirmation. I'm not aware of paypal's features, but the fact is that burden of recurrent payment implementation falls on the shoulders of merchant system developer.
Alipay will not automatically withdraw money from user's balance.
Found some Chinese docs about recurring billing on the open platform of AliPay.com for Chinese payments but I'm not sure if it applies to international payments:

Im looking for a Drupal6/ubercart2 payment module for any UK payment gateway which does'nt require PCI DSS compliance. My website is a relatively low transaction shoppingcart and acquiring compliance is over the budget.
For example, there is a module for 'Sage pay go direct' which requires the compliance. Sagepay also offers another solution called 'Sage Pay Go with Form' in which a customer is redirected to their site to store card details and make payments but as far as I know, there are no modules available.
Worldpay has a module but requires compliance.
We have the paypal module which I'm leaving as a last option as it requires users to create an account which is a bit off putting.
Any other gateway modules or cheap PCI-DSS compliant hosting providers anyone can recommend?
If your payment is processed by a third party (ie. Paypal, Sage) then you don't need to worry about PCI compliance for the most part, as it deals with the storage of payment information.
Also, Paypal Website Payments Standard has no monthly costs and does not require a Paypal account, users can pay using a credit card without signing up.
For smaller eCommerce clients (under around $2,000 per month) then it makes sense to use Paypal's free option (3% transaction fee). For higher volumes it starts to make sense to pay for a merchant account.
I am developing a website with online payment.
Payment is done using Paypal NVP Api.
There is need of a facility to store customers credit card details(not in database) once they register to Website.There onwards whenever they order these details will be fetched, Customer need not enter their card details for every order.
So is there any facility to create a profile n store credit card details of customer, as it is there for recurring payments?
This is not the idea of paypal, you are not allowed to store the customer credit cart and use them later by your self - if you do that, paypal see its and block your account in no time.
The paypal offer recurring payments, so you only need to initialize correct the paypal options and you have your solution.
Or get permission from visa, or master-cart to have the ability to keep local the credit cart informations. I must say that is very dangerous and if your system is not well protected you put your clients and your business in a big risk to lose the credit cart data and have real problems.
to store customers credit card details(not in database)
Where to you wish to store it ? in the paper :)?
Customer need not enter their card details for every order.
This is something that paypal take care of. You do not have to do something about.
