If it is a web server you can probably get it from CGI variables of the webserver.

So how to make it appear as my customers IP address?

<transactionRequest><customerIP> if using the API.

That is hard to say. It depends if you are wrinting your own code using one of Auth.net's sdks or a plugin for some package and if it is using API, AIM or whatever.

If it is a plugin, you need to contact the person who wrote it.

If writing your own, see the API Payment examples and sample code. The first Auth example has it in there.

Look for these entries near the end of the list: - Dhcp Enabled. ...
To exit, at the blinking cursor, type: exit and press Enter.

Thanks for the updates on this thread. Helpful

You can send your customer's IP address along with the createTransactionRequest request, in the customerIP element of your XML or JSON object.

One way to get the IP address in C# is the following:

public string GetIPAddress()
{
string IPAddress = "";
System.Net.IPHostEntry Host = default(System.Net.IPHostEntry);
string Hostname = null;
Hostname = System.Environment.MachineName;
Host = System.Net.Dns.GetHostEntry(Hostname);
foreach (System.Net.IPAddress IP in Host.AddressList)
{
if (IP.AddressFamily == System.Net.Sockets.AddressFamily.InterNetwork)
{
IPAddress = Convert.ToString(IP);
}
}
return IPAddress;
}

Just contact the owner of the plugin for more details he would surely help you without any concerns.

If you own the code then check the sample codes here & let us know wht you think.

I am pretty sure this code here did work for me once.

public string GetIPAddress()
{
string IPAddress = "";
System.Net.IPHostEntry Host = default(System.Net.IPHostEntry);
string Hostname = null;
Hostname = System.Environment.MachineName;
Host = System.Net.Dns.GetHostEntry(Hostname);
foreach (System.Net.IPAddress IP in Host.AddressList)
{
if (IP.AddressFamily == System.Net.Sockets.AddressFamily.InterNetwork)
{
IPAddress = Convert.ToString(IP);
}
}
return IPAddress;
}

@malphas0013

What language is your app written in? You can get the IP from your server. You can pass to auth.net and retrieve it later. You can also just capture it and store it in a db. What is your use case for this? If for security, I would capture it and log it at the time the pay button was clicked.

I am almost certain, back to your original question, that every server side programming language has a method to capture the IP address. In php it is $_SERVER[‘REMOTE_ADDR’]. That global variable is the users IP address.

Is there a PHP method using the API? Non referenced in the documentation.

JSON is "customerIP": "192.168.1.1",

Could PHP be $customerData->setCustomerIP("192.1.1.1"); ?
