Recurring Credit Card Authorization Form
An authorization that just says "I agree to be charged monthly" doesn't survive a chargeback dispute. The bank's going to ask, charged for what, how much, and how often, and vague language doesn't answer any of that. Spell out the amount, the frequency, and the cancellation terms in writing, before the first charge goes through.
Right now, recurring charge authorization is often a single checkbox next to "I agree to the terms," with no specific dollar amount, frequency, or cancellation method spelled out anywhere the customer actually saw. When a customer disputes a charge months later, there's nothing specific to point to in your defense, just a vague box that got checked once.
Typeform's recurring credit card authorization form spells out the specific dollar amount or maximum, the billing frequency, start date, and how a customer cancels, all in plain language, with a signature confirming the customer read and agreed to those specific terms rather than a generic checkbox. Conditional logic can adjust the disclosed terms based on the specific plan or product someone's authorizing, so a customer signing up for one tier isn't seeing pricing that applies to a different one.
Two things worth building in accurately. Typeform's own payment question only processes one-time charges, it doesn't run recurring billing itself, so this form works best as the authorization and consent record while your actual subscription or billing platform handles collecting the card and charging it on schedule. And never collect a full card number directly in a text field on this or any generic form, card data has to go through a PCI-compliant, tokenizing processor and shouldn't be stored as plain text anywhere after the initial authorization, since violations carry real penalties and the fix is simple: don't build a raw "card number" field into the form at all.
A recurring credit card authorization form documents a customer's express consent to be charged on a recurring basis, spelling out the amount, frequency, start date, and cancellation terms in writing, instead of relying on a vague "I agree" checkbox that doesn't specify what was actually agreed to.
Because if a customer disputes a charge, the bank reviewing the dispute is going to ask what they were authorized for, how much, how often, starting when, and a form that only says "I agree" doesn't answer any of that. Specific terms, written down and signed, are what actually stand up to a chargeback dispute.
Cover what a bank or card network would actually want to see if this ever gets disputed:
- The specific dollar amount, or a stated maximum
- Billing frequency and start date
- Duration, or how the recurring charges end
- Clear cancellation instructions
- The merchant name as it will appear on the customer's statement
- A signature and date
No. Typeform's payment question handles one-time charges only, it isn't built to run recurring billing. Use this form to capture the authorization and consent, in writing, with specific terms, and connect it to your actual subscription or billing platform, the system that handles the recurring charges, through Zapier or a direct integration.
No. Collecting a full card number in a plain text field on a generic form creates real PCI DSS compliance exposure, and violations carry substantial penalties. Card data should go through a PCI-compliant processor that tokenizes it, never stored as raw text anywhere after the initial authorization. Keep this form to just collecting consent and terms, and let a proper payment processor handle the actual card data.
