Thanks for spelling that out for me. As for being simple - I have begun teaching myself somewhat recently while looking for a good match w/ someone more technical. I can really only handle html & css at this point - sad I know. Anyways, this was very easy for me to setup. I've already got it going on my site w/ sandbox account.
But, going to hold off for now and just use hosted payment pages for a bit. Will likely use this in the near future though - thanks to the Recurly team.

Ok, I see, so it's a bit different from Stripe's approach which to actually Ajax the cc# to stripe's server and return a token which the merchant then uses as a proxy for thee cc in normal API calls. I think they claim to obviate the self-exam for merchants despite it being materially similar to e transparent post.

It is indeed. Recurly has really improved over time, you have been doing a great job. It is so much easier to set up subscription payments today (with a solution like Recurly) than it was 2-3 years ago. Keep up the good work!
We launched our own Transparent Post back in March 2011. We created Recurly.js to simplify performing client-side validation, pricing calculations (w/ coupons, VAT, add-ons), and proper error handling when a transaction is declined. It's 10x easier to implement than Transparent Post, and has a much better user experience for the customer.
