Element's Recurring Billing stores cardholder data off-site, giving merchants a secure way to meet their customers' needs – and another reason to keep using your software.

When a pet comes in very sick, a veterinarian wants to give the owner the option of paying for an expensive procedure over time. Recurring Billing makes it easy for them to do this, without worrying about payment card security. It's a real selling point for the veterinarian – and for us."

Recurring Billing available through the Element Express Processing Platform is a convenient feature important to many merchants. This utility allows merchants to securely process subscription-based transactions and to offer the convenience of paying for large purchases over time.

Recurring Billing functions within Element's Virtual Terminal or when software providers integrate business management software with the Element Express Processing Platform. Transactions are secure because the feature uses PASS (Payment Account Secure Storage) to store payment card information off-site, leaving only a unique identifier for the customer data at the merchant site.

All the merchant has to do is set up the recurring transaction once and the Element Express Processing Platform automatically and securely bills the customer when needed. The customer gets to pay over time as scheduled, and the merchant gets to make their sale – thanks to Recurring Billing from Element.
