I would like to know the answer to this too. I think WPP does allow recurring payments and CC data storage. I hear services like Chargify ( http://chargify.com ) are very useful to get up and running quickly (if you already have a merchant account). Here's my list of bookmarks from earlier discussions on the subject on HN: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1392842 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33322 http://ne…
