Zero Amount Authorizations

When you create a subscription before the subscription start date, Cybersource verifies the account with a zero amount authorization to ensure that the stored card details are valid.

When you create a subscription on the subscription start date, Cybersource does not perform a zero amount authorization because the first recurring payment is processed immediately.
