 FAQ:


Question: I've enabled the module but it does not display in my client portal.
Answer: This module does not support the currency you attempt to display it in, please use background currency conversion.

Question: How does this implementation work? Would HostBill store customer CreditCard? Or store Token?
Answer: This implementation of Authorize.net CIM does not store neither credit card nor the token. It sends the customer data to Authorize.net but does not save token in HostBill. It stores token/profile at authorize.net side, so it will be reused (customer profile will not be re-created each time). Customer needs to initiate payments (login to HostBill and click "Pay Now" to pay for due invoice) using this method.
