Token Expiration

vkhang55 — Wed, 11 Jul 2012 02:26:55 GMT

So everytime a customer enters the credit card information on my site, their credit card information gets stored (partially) in the database along with the corresponding gateway payment token for Authorize.net. How long is this token good for before it expires in the production site? I'm assuming that these tokens in development or staging accounts will never expire? Thanks!

What is this "token" you are referencing? transaction id? authorization code?

Both and what are the differences? What's their expiration time?

You get a transaction ID when you do a transaction (auth_only, auth_capture, etc).

authorization code is for getting authorization to charge a card.

What do you mean expire? like auth_only to "Prior Authorization and Capture Transactions", refund for a settled captured transaction?
