ClickBank API & Recurring Billing

Hi

Second day in a row I'm posting a question, hopefully I'll be as lucky today as I was yesterday!

I am going over the documentation for the ClickBank API as I was wondering if it could be used for recurring billing? What I want to create is a method of determining if a customer has paid for another months service.

I know how to do this with the PayPal IPN service, and I had expected that ClickBank would have a similar mechanism, but apparently they don't.

In the ClickBank API documentation that I have been able to find (which seems scarce) they mention that the "Orders Service Description" API has a HEAD request which can identify if a particular order or subscription is active. So do I need to query this API every month to determine if my subscriber is paid up? Or am I completely missing something.

Anyone who has any experience with this (and I wouldn't say no to a PHP code sample!) and who could answer this for me can be my new best friend!



Thanks

Bill

    I found my answer, Clickbank's Instant Notification Service looks like it will do the job.
