AIM Refund/Credit not accepting last four digits of Credit Card

crmpicco — Thu, 03 Feb 2011 11:25:22 GMT

Hi,

I am integrating via AIM and I am attempting to refund (or credit) on a settled transaction. The specification states the following:

"At least the last four digits of the credit card number (x_card_num) used for the original, successfully settled transaction are submitted. An expiration date is not required."

However, when I pass the transaction ID, amount and last four digits of the card to AuthorizeNetAIM::credit it throws this error:

AuthorizeNet Error:
                Response Code: 3
                Response Subcode: 1
                Response Reason Code: 6
                Response Reason Text: The credit card number is invalid.

It works when I pass the *full* card number and the expiry date, but this is a problem for me as I can't store this amount of data (for security reasons) and it contradicts the documentation.

Can anyone help me out? It would be much appreciated.

Best Regards,

Picco

Are you passing the masked last four like 'XXXX4154' with the XXXX in front?

Hi there,

No I am just passing four characters, please see the cURL string below. I am using PHP for the integration.

x_version=3.1&x_delim_char=%2C&x_delim_data=TRUE&x_relay_response=FALSE&x_encap_char=%7C&x_exp_date=01%2F13&x_amount=188.99&x_card_num=0001&x_type=CREDIT&x_login=MYLOGIN&x_tran_key=9728y896wRj5gBWa

Can anyone see the issue here?

The test card I used was 5404000000000001. I'm just about to call the support line to see if anyone can help me out there, but I think I may have more success on here.

Thanks,

Picco

Well, you need to pass in as a masked cc# so it will be x_card_num=XXXX00041

could be a bug because CP use x_ref_trans_id for credit while on AIM is use x_trans_id

Thanks, i went into the library and hard coded a x_ref_trans_id variable into the curl post data to be the transaction id and it successfully submited

I ran into the same problem. Their documentation:

http://developer.authorize.net/api/reference/#payment-transactions-refund-a-transaction

actually has refTransID as an explicitly required field. However, their code sample omits it.

I added the following line to my (php) code and that made it work:

$transactionRequest->setRefTransId(123456789);

(where 123456789 is the number of your original transaction)
