The automatic collection via Electronic Funds Transfer and by Pre-Approved Credit Card Payments is a convenient and secure method for getting paid for the Recurring Revenue Invoices that are owed by your Subscribers.
To implement this automatic payment collection feature, follow the steps outlined below:
The Auto Draft information must be entered in advance (before the associated Recurring Revenue is actually billed).

Then, the Invoices for that associated Recurring Revenue are generated.

HelpFilesAutoBillingProcedure

Auto Billing dialog

 

The Recurring Revenue Invoices created with the Auto Billing procedure may then be viewed based on the predefined Auto Draft information using the Auto Draft Preview Form (see the "Understanding the Auto Draft Preview Form" section below).

The Auto Draft information may be validated and corrected, if necessary (to ensure that the Recurring Revenue Invoice Amounts match the predefined Auto Draft Amounts) using the Auto Draft Pre Processing Form.

Once the Auto Draft information is entered, the Recurring Revenue Invoices are generated, and those Invoices are validated using the Auto Draft Pre Processing Form, then the Auto Draft Pre-Approved Payments process will create the export file which is transmitted to, and used by the Bank or Credit Card Processor to charge each (predefined) Subscriber's Auto Draft Account for the appropriate Auto Draft Amount.
