Automatic payments (AutoPay)

Warning! Self-hosted DataVaults are no longer supported. See Purchasing an AutoPay license for details.

AutoPay provides organizations the ability to support automatic renewal of membership fees or automatic recurring donations. AutoPay uses a tokenization engine (DataVault) to process credit card and bank account information for recurring payments while maintaining PCI compliance.

The following are required in order to use AutoPay:

  • An AutoPay and Fundraising license key. For more information, contact your AiSP or ASI Technical Support.
  • A tokenization engine (ASI-hosted or self-hosted). Contact ASI Hosting for more information about the ASI-hosted tokenization engine.
  • An iATS, Payflow Pro, SecurePay, or Vantiv/WorldPay payment gateway account.
  • Note: Payflow Pro only supports credit cards with AutoPay.
