Create customer payment profile from transaction

webacers19 — Thu, 06 Dec 2018 03:58:03 GMT

Hi,
I am working on a project where I need to create ARB for existing transactions. There are no customer profiles in the account.

I thought creating customer profile from transaction (using email) which is successfully completed. However customer payment profile is not being created from the existing transaction.

For new transactions, I can use transactions API to create subscriptions and customer profiles. But I need suggestions for existing transactions.

Can anyone suggest me a workaround?

Thanks.

I am not entirely sure that I am following your question correctly, so please forgive me if I've misunderstood.

You cannot create a Subscription from an existing transaction via API, this is only available to a user in the Merchant Interface.

Instead, you can create a Customer Profile from an existing transaction using createCustomerProfileFromTransactionRequest followed by a ARBCreateSubscriptionRequest referencing the created Customer Profile ID and Payment Profile IDs.

I hope this information is helpful to you.

Thank you,

Elaine
