Hi Ben,

re:
> Surely there are software ways to automate a monthly payment / checking system?

To a certain extent yes, but there are always outliers with fraud, mistaken orders, disputes and such and fundamentally having a much larger number of transactions makes more work to handle such things.

There are a whole lot more rules about how to save payment information which is needed when doing recurring subscriptions.

It's just quite a bit simpler for me to not have that.

Thanks,
