Recurring Payments API on Dwolla

Just running through the API to see if I can use Dwolla for web apps that require recursive billing - there is no API support for this, is there?

Thanks!

Michael- you mention above recurring was going to be added to the v3 API release.

  • Has this been delayed?

Also I sent a email to your posted email address between Dec25 and Jan.1 and didn't rcv a reply to a previous post on the endpoints for the Funding sources.

  • Did you rcv this private email concerning Clay Gulick's questions on GetSatisfaction?

These Funding source API's still seem to have lots of questions around them from the developer community and not much documentation on how to chain FORM processes with the oauth Token from REGISTER to FUNDINGSOURCE BANKACCOUNT ENDPOINTS

Could you answer the questions or have a Dwolla developer answer those -- most of the questions were on GetSatisfaction.

Both REgistering a user, REcurring payment streams and creating a Bank account and verifying it is critical for most of the types of transactions this community seems to be interested in - vis'avis' a single FORM UX process stream. These have been default ACH endpoints for a long time now. I am not sure why veridian isn't opening these up and creating less friction for Dwolla to create a ZERO friction user experience API for your 3rd party developers.

Thank you for answering our questions in advance.

Eric is correct. We're definitely planning to add an API for recurring/scheduled payments, but that won't happen until the release of our API V3, which will happen closer to the end of the year...

We are, however, about to remove the PIN requirement for the request money method, and so depending on your flow, this might help somewhat.

There is currently no API support for recurring payments, and I'm not sure if Dwolla plans to add it.

You may be able to do what you're hoping to via a regularly scheduled call to the API of the request method with the user's Dwolla ID or phone number, as documented here. The user will still have to "pay their bill" each time, but will be prompted to do so with a Dwolla request for funds.
