AIM XML CP testing "The Market Type is invalid"

LisaDMendez0426 — Sat, 10 Jan 2015 16:27:38 GMT

Greetings,

I am working on making the transition from NVP submissions to the new AIM XML submissions.

I began working with a new sandbox account as its my understanding that all sandbox accounts now have the ability to test both CNP and CP transactions - which is what m real retailer will have.

My initial tests sending a string which includes track data is consistently returning error code "The Market Type is invalid".

I can not find any settings within the sandbox merchant account to enable a CP AIM string with track data.

Possible error points - does my track data string need editing so that the test card numbers are used?

Or is the track data in some way rejected?

I've tried removing the first/last characters from the track data and see no change in the error code.

Thanks for any additional ideas.

Hello @LisaDMendez0426

It will be easier to diagnose if you include your entire request and response with any sensitive information redacted.

Thank you for your reply - I apologize for the delay I was looking at wrong place for notification.

This is the edited string I'm testing with. All CR LF are entered for readability here only.

These numbers are not valid.

I am using the TEST API post URL

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<createTransactionRequest xmlns="AnetApi/xml/v1/schema/AnetApiSchema.xsd">
<merchantAuthentication>
<name> sandbox Name </name>
<transactionKey>sandbox Key </transactionKey>
</merchantAuthentication>
<transactionRequest>
<transactionType>authCaptureTransaction</transactionType>
<amount>20.00</amount>
<payment>
<trackData>
<track1>%B4444111101782707^SMITH/JOHN E^1607101000000000000000155000000?;4444111101782707=16071010155000000000?

For Card Present, you need to pass these too

retail	The retail element contains two elements: marketType and deviceType.
marketType	0 for ecommerce 1 for moto 2 for retail	Default value is 2.
deviceType	7 for mobile POS

Much appreciated.

Hello @DanishJamia

The transaction id response of zero indicates you have your sandbox in test mode. Instead you should run the sandbox in live mode.

<transId>0</transId>
