    Hi all,
    So I've used both USAepay and Authorize.net and their respective APIs in client work and now am working on a project that requires payment from some users [freemium] - have a few questions:
    1) I'm a Canadian and have always acted as a sole proprietor using my given name so I have never registered a business name.  Is this needed for a USAepay or Authorize.net account?  If so what specifically is needed?
    2) I'd like to integrate recurring payments [monthly] -- simple enough but I'd like to have a button that would let me give a paying user a free month.  Do either of these providers have some kind of "waive 1 recurring payment" feature?
    3) Who should I talk to about getting a merchant account?

    I'm in exactly the same situation and was wondering if you found a suitable solution? Did you also look into Paypal Payments Pro?

    Thanks,
    Matt
