If you are a customer with Authorize.Net, the Customer Information Manager can be enabled on your account with them which will allow secure storage of credit/debit cards and/or bank account information (referred to as epayment profiles ).
ChamberMaster/MemberZone then accesses these secure profiles to allow recurring credit/debit card billing or recurring ACH transactions from ChamberMaster / MemberZone. This feature also allows a member to save account information for use the next time they pay a bill or checkout.
Note: these steps may change but should give a general idea of what it may look like on your Authorize.Net account.
