Possible to create a transaction but not allow it to be rebilled?

azriley — Thu, 02 Feb 2017 15:01:53 GMT

Hello,

When you search by batch in Authorize.net's dashboard, there's a button for `View Rebillable Transactions`. Can anyone tell me more about how this determined and also if it's possible to set a property on the transaction so that it would not be rebillable from here?

So far we've tried setting the transaction properties to have recurringBilling equal to 0, which didn't seem to have the effect we're going for. Not seeing much else under Charge a Credit Card from:

https://developer.authorize.net/api/reference/index.html

Thanks in advance,

Aaron

Hello @azriley

Rebill Transactions is a Merchant Interface feature for manually creating new transaction but has specific limitations:

You have up to 90 days from the original submit date of the transaction to re-bill the transaction.
To re-bill a transaction, it must have a status of "Settled Successfully.”
You cannot edit any information for the transaction other than the amount.
The re-bill feature is not automated.
The re-billed transaction will contain the same details as the original transaction.

If you provide more details on what you're trying to do, we can assist more.

Thanks RichardH!

We're just trying to set a property on the transaction when it's created so that it's either not available in the rebillable results or when you click the View Rebillable Transactions button, creating a new rebill amount isn't an option because the textbox isn't there.

Do you know if it is possible to set up a transaction in some way so that its not rebillable?

Thanks,

Aaron

Hello @azriley

It is currently not possible to disable rebilling in the merchant interface.

You are welcome to post this as a new feature using our Ideas forum. This will allow others to vote on and make suggestions to improve the request.
