For Merchants

WebMoney Rebills is a bridge between you and your returning customers giving them a way to save time by directly debiting their WebMoney Account. The Service offers automated recurring billing and payments, where the funds are withdrawn automatically from the Customer's account, all the rest will be done by WebMoney at no additional fee.

WebMoney allows to verify customer's actions using an analogue of the handwritten signature. It helps to create the "authorization" to debit his account direct online without check-out pages, additional tools/documents or any other visits to the Merchant's site.

There are 2 ways to use Recurring Payments: Light Variant and Full Variant.

Light Variant

A Merchant needs only to receive funds from his customers, without "binding" them to accounts inside his billing system. How to do it: place a link at the Customers' Control Panel inside his Account or at the Payment page, redirecting him to the Rebills Service. Title this link as "Set up Recurring Payments via WebMoney". Link can contain any needed data, like customer's account number/ID, amount, currency, payments schedule, etc, which will be used by our System. As soon as the Customers accepts and confirms it, we will periodically debit his WebMoney Purse and transfer them to you, notifying you about it via standard interfaces.

Full Variant

This option helps a Merchant to combine internal invoices, issued by him and payments, coming from WebMoney, thus reaching high level of flexibility in bookkeeping.

How to do it:

1. Customer applies for subscription or shows his intent to be automatically billed by WebMoney on a regular basis. He indicates his full details somewhere on the Merchant's website, shop or office, including his purse number and WMID and then sets-up (confirms) limits to be withdrawn from his purse.
2. Merchant informs WebMoney about the Customer, wishing to apply for subscription/recurring payments.

   Here, from the payment system point of view, WebMoney doesn't have any confirmation from the Customer that he really wants to enable direct debit. Thus we use our tools to identify/verify the Customer and to get his confirmation. At this point, a Customer can either:

   • Consent for direct debit;
   • Reject it, but agree to receive invoices from a Merchant or;
   • Reject it, but agree to receive regular reminders (alerts) via WebMoney;
   • Reject any recurrent operations at all.
3. WebMoney then transfers Customer's authorization (consent) to the Merchant who records it into his database.
4. As per Recurring Payments/Invoices or Alerts Customers List, A Merchant, initiates an invoice message on a payment due-date.

   When we receive such a message:

   • For customers, who agreed for direct debit:

     funds withdrawn from a customer's WM Account. If funds are withdrawn successfully, Customer's personal account at the Merchant side is funded for the requested amount. Payment System stores information about every transaction, so the Merchant can always check if the account was paid and when.

   • For customers, who agreed to receive regular invoices or alerts from a Merchant:

     When an invoice message is received from a Merchant, WebMoney turns into internal WM-invoice or a message for the given Customer, who will see it immediately as he logs into WebMoney account.
