Set Up Dues Auto Pay
AMO can automatically charge your member's credit card for their Dues Renewal invoices.
For the Auto Pay system to work correctly, your Association must meet these requirements:
- This feature only works with Stripe, Authrorize.net, or CardConnect payment gateways.
- Auto Pay will only work if the dues invoice has a set amount. Auto Pay will not work for invoices that give members several options at renewal time; only one option with a defined price will work.
- Members must opt-in to the Auto Pay feature in the Member Center, and a valid credit card must be entered into their account.
- AMO will only attempt to Auto Pay invoices created that same day – the system will not go back and try to auto-charge old open invoices (including ones that might have been made "yesterday").
- Auto Pay won't attempt to do anything if a card charge is declined other than emailing the person. In this case, the member will need to manually log in, pay the invoice, and update their card info for the next invoice.
In any scenario where AMO can't determine an exact amount on the invoice, the process falls back to the default method of sending the member an invoice to pay manually in the Member Center.
