Can I use Chargify for one-time transactions?

Yes. Once you have an active subscription for a customer, you can attach one-time charges to their account.

You can work around the requirement for having to have a subscription by setting up a Subscription for a $0 recurring charge, although you will want to have email receipts turned off for your Site if you go this route - periodic emails showing your $0 renewal can be confusing to Customers.

Another way to achieve a one-time purchase is by setting up a specially configured "One-Time-Purchase Product"

We plan to offer formal support for One-Time purchases in the future.

Thanks, I found a solution for those who do not want to create a additional subscription for one time purchases. The code on how I solved this can be found here: http://verdisx.com/2011/11/20/how-to-make-a-one-time-payment-for-no...
