Refund the Transaction using CIM

pradeep_p — Fri, 21 Sep 2012 06:38:40 GMT

Hi Team,

At present we are using the Authorize.net using CIM method with .NET Environment for our payments. Now we got a requirement as explained below:

1. Refund the Full Amount of the transaction

2. Refund the Partial amount which is specified by us.

Could you please help us to implement the above Refund implemnation stes and also if possble share the same code. So that it will be very help full for us.

At present we are doing the Refund through the Authorize.net site manually. for that we need to implement this feature in our existing website using Asp.net c#.net.

Thanks,

pradeep

You would use the AIM API to handle refunds.

Actually, that answer was incorrect. The CIM guide says:

For Refund Transactions

If you are submitting a refund against a previous CIM transaction, the following guidelines apply:
- include customerProfileId, customerPaymentProfileId, and transId.
- customerShippingAddressId is optional.
- creditCardNumberMasked, bankRoutingNumberMasked, and bankAccountNumberMasked do not need to be included, but they will be validated if they are included.

If you are submitting a refund for a non-CIM transaction, the following guidelines apply:
- you must include transId, creditCardNumberMasked (or bankRoutingNumberMasked and bankAccountNumberMasked).
- do not include customerProfileId, customerPaymentProfileId, or customerShippingAddressId.

You can also issue an unlinked refund for a CIM transaction. In this case, the following rules apply:
- you must be enrolled in Expanded Credit Capabilities (ECC). For more information about ECC, go to http://www.authorize.net/files/ecc.pdf.
- you must include customerProfileId and customerPaymentProfileId.
- customerShippingAddressId is optional.
- do not include transId, creditCardNumberMasked, bankRoutingNumberMasked, or bankAccountNumberMasked.

So it's obviously possible to do this using just the CIM API.
