Can I use direct-post on authorize.net to auto pay?

I was wondering if it was possible to use authorize.net to auto pay for some customers that have a monthly payment. For example if there was a way to link their credit card account and the account on my server. My site doesn't have SSL yet but the authorize.net makes a secure https post so I use the DPM method to accept payments

Whether or not you can, you shouldn't. Authorize.net exposes an Automated Recurring Billing API which you should use for this task. If you're taking people's money, do it the right way. A serious downside of your approach is that you'd need to store credit card information on your own system, which is at best a bad idea and at worst breaking the law depending on where you are.
