How does Authorize.Net ARB automate semester tuition billing for US universities?
Authorize.Net Automated Recurring Billing (ARB) lets OpenEduCat set up a billing schedule for each student — for example, $8,500 debited on August 15 and January 15 for fall and spring semesters. Once the student authorizes the ACH debit mandate, the charges happen automatically on schedule. If a payment fails, ARB retries and notifies OpenEduCat so the finance office can follow up. ARB has been trusted by US education institutions for over 20 years and is one of the most reliable recurring billing systems in the US market.
