    …I set up a subscription and did several tests, but the initial payment is not being made at the time of purchase, but the subscription is showing in authorize.net.

    Do you mean, the payment is not showing up in your Authorize.net account? Did you allow sufficient time for the subscriber’s payment to clear?

    In addition if i try to do a non subscription purchase IE a buy now it take me to pay pal.

    Buy Now buttons, by default only work with PayPal. You need to use a Gateway Specific Buy Now button:

    Yes, this AM IE the next day the ARB for the first payment went through but it should be that I set up for 12 payments and the first one should get charged at time of purchase and the next payment should be charged (if monthly) the next month.

    But, I just tried the ARB and again it set up a ARB but didn’t take the initial fee.

    OK I think I figured it all out

    The ARB does not charge the initial fee from the first charge it only creates a ARB subscription that then starts the next AM.

    In the past using Authorize.net I always crated ARB from a single previous transaction.

    I had assumed that the way this would work was you charged a customer then the remaining months would then start after the next interval.

    Is this correct?
