I have successfully been able to checkout with a subscription plan and capture the funds from Authorize.net. However, on checkout completion I get a system error message:

Subscription payment registration error: Error received from payment gateway: E00017: Start Date must not occur before the submission date.

I have found this on from authorize.net error code list:

API Error Code: E00017
Error Code Text: The startDate cannot occur in the past.
Description: The subscription start date cannot occur before the subscription submission date. (Note: validation is performed against local server date, which is Mountain Time.)

I have made sure that my Global server time in Joomla is set to Mountain Time, which is my timezone. I don't know if there is further settings I need to modify within CB or CB Subs plugin. Maybe someone knows what I am doing wrong? I figure maybe something isn't quite right with my subscription plan too. I have the plan to "Yes: subscribe user to automatic recurring payments (*)" but apparently there is some type of global time conflict. So the payment captured does not get registered as a Recurring Billing Transaction at Authorize.net. So I have success to upgrade to this plan and send payment, just no automatic monthly payment gets setup. A question I have as well is, does CB Subs communicate with the payment process at the end of every payment period to process transaction? And if the credit card on file expires or does not go through that payment period does that plan automatically get cancelled or expired?

This is an awesome plugin, any help is appreciated.

No one has had a plan submit for ARB with a return error code of Subscription payment registration error: Error received from payment gateway: E00017: Start Date must not occur before the submission date. ? This defeats the whole purpose of me having monthly subscriptions if they are sending the wrong info such as start date. Submission date should be start date, is this a cb subs bug anyone?

My system keeps setting the start day for ARB subscriptions for days in advanced from the actual payment date, this automatically does not work with authorize.net with will reject making the autorecuring subscription if those two are not the same. I have a trial membership plan setup, when that is up I have a paid auto renewing subscription that my users can upgrade to. Is there something I am missing to do with "renew" and "validity" settings that could be screwing up my StartDate when upgrading plans? This is screwy and rather annoying to have to manually setup the ARB with authorize and change the sub to "autorenew" after the order is placed. I am probably out of sync now too when I have to do that, not sure that authorize will return anything to cb_subs that the system will recognize to let me know that their card has stopped paying, expired, etc... so a lot of manual work here. It's too bad I wish someone could point me in the right direction! Help is appreciated.

Awesome, so I have upgraded my CB Subs to the recently released CB Subs 1.2.2 and now I am no longer seeing the Subscription payment registration error: Error received from payment gateway: E00017: Start Date must not occur before the submission date. message upon payment success. However, I notice that the payment is still not being passed a long as an ARB type in authorize.net. Does CB Subs fire off a payment every month from my system or is the ARB supposed to be setup in Authorize.net ? Just wondering how the communication there works between CB Subs and Authorize or how it should work.
