PaymentProfile Order

deanlaw — Fri, 06 Oct 2023 21:04:28 GMT

Are the PaymentProfiles that are returned when calling getCustomerProfileRequest returned in any particular order? I have some clients that have multiple PaymentProfiles, not all that are active (not expired) and I want to retrieve the most recent profile. As it stands now, I am looping over all the payment profiles and evaluating which ones are active and which have expired. Are they listed in a descending order by creation date?

Here it appears the IDs are returned in numeric ascending order, which is probably the order in which they were created.

Thanks @marine2026 that is what I am seeing as well. I wish that there was something actually documented though so that I can trust putting that logic into my code.

Dean,

I recommend calling the tech support line and asking them for verbal clarification that the profile IDs are created in numeric ascending order. That knowledge would increase your confidence....
