This process is only supported for Authorize.NET Recurring Billing

To allow a user to update their credit card or billing information you will need to set up a special donation form to collect that information and then create a link for that user.

To create the update form, create a new donation configuration in usual way with the following settings:

• eCommerce: Predefined Amounts: <blank>
• Form Options: Show Billing Address Fields: Yes
• Form Options: Show Credit Card Fields: Yes
• Form Options: Show Recurring Payment Fields: No
• Form Options: Hide "Other" Amount: Yes
• General: User Account Settings: Pre-populate donor data by Authorize.NET Transaction ID?:  Yes

Save the form, and create a menu item with the resulting configuration id. 

You must provide the donor a link to the donation form created above that includes their ARB Subscription ID.  This is stored in the donations table, xaction_id field.

The link should start with the complete public link to the donation form created above.

http://www.yourwebsitename.com/index.php?option=com_donate&Itemid=73

Now add the subscriptionId parameter with your donor's information

http://www.yourwebsitename.com/index.php?option=com_donate&Itemid=73&subscriptionId=2343243

That link should only be distributed to the user that created the subscription originally.  That link will load the donation form in update mode, and pre-populate the user's billing information.
