ARB - Free Trial - Both Trial Amount and Trial Occurrences are required?

ericremington — Mon, 06 Aug 2012 14:54:46 GMT

I am using the AuthNetWS interface to ARB. I am attempting to use the Trial Period option for a subscription. It appears that if I set the TrialAmount = 0 then I recieve the "Both Trial Amount and Trial Occurrences are required." error. What am I doing wrong? Is having a 1 month free possible? My example shows 1 month free and 11 month @ $49.95 for 12 month total.

Here is the code I am using:

// create subscription and card objects from App_Code\ArbApiInterface.cs

AuthNetWS.ARBSubscriptionType subscription = new AuthNetWS.ARBSubscriptionType();

// subscription name

subscription.name = "Sample Subscription";

// payment info

subscription.payment = new AuthNetWS.PaymentType();

subscription.payment.Item = creditCard;

// billing info

subscription.billTo = billToAddress;

// add subscription for 12 monthly installments

subscription.paymentSchedule = new AuthNetWS.PaymentScheduleType();

subscription.paymentSchedule.startDate = new DateTime(DateTime.Now.Year, DateTime.Now.Month, DateTime.Now.Day);

subscription.paymentSchedule.startDateSpecified = true;

subscription.paymentSchedule.totalOccurrences = 12;

subscription.paymentSchedule.totalOccurrencesSpecified = true;

subscription.paymentSchedule.interval = new AuthNetWS.PaymentScheduleTypeInterval();

subscription.paymentSchedule.interval.length = 1;

subscription.paymentSchedule.interval.unit = AuthNetWS.ARBSubscriptionUnitEnum.months;

subscription.paymentSchedule.trialOccurrences = 1;

subscription.paymentSchedule.trialOccurrencesSpecified = true;

subscription.trialAmount = 0;

subscription.amount = 49.95;

subscription.amountSpecified = true;

// customer info

subscription.customer = new AuthNetWS.CustomerType();

subscription.customer.email = EmailTextBox.Text;

subscription.customer.phoneNumber = phone;

// add subscription to request

subscriptionID = AuthNet.CreateSubscription(subscription);

Thanks for the catch, it works fine now.

Not only was I missing that info, but so is the documentation.
