Create Multiple Customer profiles based on Single Email ID

amitthakkar2228 — Thu, 21 Jun 2012 14:49:05 GMT

Hello ,

i have a requirement here where multiple people use a common emailID, i.e. something like a serviceemail, but they need to have different customer profiles on authorize.net so that they haev different payment profiles.

so in short, can we create/distinguish and store multiple authorize.net customer profiles based on a single emailID.

In the Customer Profile's description field, just use something to uniquely identify the person -- an internal ID would be best, but you could also just use a timestamp if there is legitimately no other data you can go off of to make it unique.

Then, does that mean that the combination of email and description is the unique combination?

To be considered a duplicate, the customer profiles would have to have exactly the same MerchantCustomerId, Description, and Email field values.

So as long as one of those fields is unique, it will no longer be considered a duplicate.
