Amazon also has a biling service (flexible payments service): http://www.amazon.com/Flexible-Payments-Service-AWS/b/ref=sc...

I don't know if you can charge each month however.

Like PayPal, FPS requires an account with another party (an Amazon account in this case) making it unsuitable for many, including us. We can't introduce another step into the process.
