These functions should be run periodically to keep the site running optimally.

Process Items – Clicking this button will cause all items that have not been viewed recently to be evaluated and processed, sending out all appropriate emails and closing any items necessary.

Clean: Deleted Items - Enter a number of days and click [Clean!] This function will remove all bid and item data for old items from the database. These items will no longer appear in any lists and will not be available to view or relist.

Clean: Delete Invoice Data -  Enter a number of days and click [Clean!] This function will permanently remove old sale, payment and invoice data from the database. These sales and invoices will no longer appear in any lists and will not be available to view or edit.

Process Memberships – If the membership system is enabled clicking this button will renew all users with expired memberships.  If require payment up-front is enabled a payment will also be attempted for each member with valid cc info.  If payment fails, that membership will not be renewed.  It is recommended that this function be executed at least once per day. 

Note: This button is not needed when memberships are paid using PayPal.

Process Store Fees – If store fronts are enabled clicking this button will charge all users with a store front.  If "Require Payment Up-front" is turned on a payment will also be attempted for each store front owner with valid cc info.  It is recommended that this function be executed at least once per month if storefronts are activated.

Process Batch Payments – This function is primarily for use when "Require Payment Upfront" is set to OFF.  It allows the administrator to charge each user's credit card (or checking account) only once per month (or however often you wish) instead of each time a fee is incurred. 

Clicking this button will attempt to charge each account specified as a batch account if that account has a balance due.  New accounts by default are batch accounts.  If the account has valid credit card information available that will be used first. 

Note: Batch Payments only work using a merchant account / gateway such as Authorize.Net.  Payment processors that require the user to be present for a charge to occur (such as PayPal standard payments) are not supported by this function.
