Hi,   First, thank you for your amazing products and solutions. The more I use this the more I like it. This may not be the precise purpose of this forum, but I have a suggestion related to your sample apps-   The common theme I notice is that the sample apps often have the maxed out best possible that can be obtained for a given solution i.e.  the Accept Hosted Iframe app. I fully appreciate the need to show and the benefit of showing what is truly possible with your products, but in helping others here and also in doing online searches during my own development process I have found that your sample apps are confusing quite a few people, for whom the fully decked out implementation may be an aspirational goal and not what they are immediately looking to acheive.    I would suggest making maybe a few sample apps, with one being a minimal integration that the developer can build on to suit their needs, and then your fully decked out showcase model for the advanced users. I think this would help many developers speed up their development process. Thank you again. I cannot say enough how great your service is, from your API to the awesome people on the phone and the people on the forum.  ... View more

We'd like to proactively email customers who have credit cards about to expire. It would be very helpful to have one call that would return all those customer ids with payment profile id(s) and expiration date. ... View more

Hi,   I have tried to refund amount using ONLY trasaction ID, but i unable to succeed.   I have using following code Please clink on below link.   https://github.com/AuthorizeNet/sample-code-php/blob/master/PaymentTransactions/refund-transaction.p...   Please make api for refund only and only using transaction ID. There are no need of any card nunber, customer profile ID, Customer Payment Profile ID etc.   How you think about this IDEA to make refund using ONLY TRANSACTION ID?   Thank you. Kalpesh ...

We have one client that uses CIM to reduce their exposure risk so that the credit card number isn't persisted locally. If a customer places a sales order as a guest, then a new customer profile (associated with the sales order) is created and the payment is stored under that profile; this allows the client to easily re-authorize the card (for example, to verify an updated billing address or to reflect changes to an order that a customer has requested) without having to ask for the card number again. But a customer who is logged in can also manage and store these credit cards in a digital wallet that's associated with their account. It would be nice if, when a returning customer who is checking out chooses one of these cards that they've already stored in their customer profile, we could copy this payment profile to a new, "hidden" customer profile that's associated with the sales order (in case they have changes or it's a backorder or something). That way, the customer can "delete" the card from their wallet without us having to display a message like "sorry, there's a pending order associated with this card, so you have to wait". I guess we can sort of do this now by authorizing it for $1 and then creating a customer profile from that transaction, but it would be cleaner if there is a mechanism within the CIM API like copyPaymentProfile() that allowed this kind of copying of payment profiles between customer profiles. Just a thought. ... View more

It would be nice to have proration invocing feature.    It would be useful in following scenario (which is common in any subscription based payment):    Suppose I've  ARB subscriptions that charges for every 3 months and has a trial period of one month.  I need to charge for anything(can be features or devices) added in subscription after trial period.    For example, if some feature is added to a plan during second month then I need to charge them for remaining days of that billing cycle  (so, charge amount = 30 + extracharge).    I know, I can update subscription in ARB to charge them from next billing cycle and I can do one time charge on customer profile for that extra charge. But for this, I need to get unit price(charge per day) and since number of days in month varies the unit price also changes.   It would be nice if this calculation is done by authorize.net.      ...

The identifying information that's included in Silent Posts (x_cust_id, x_subscription_id, etc) should always be in webhook transactions, if not just everything in Silent Posts. I know about refId but that's of no use to companies using ARB for recurring billing, which is 99% of our transactions. This is making my migration to Webhooks difficult. Your support staff has obviously been instructed to push everyone to webhooks if they're using Silent Post right now but the glaring omissions of functionality in webhooks is just absurd. The only solution is to query the Authnet API for information on the transaction ("getTransactionDetailsRequest"). The response that comes back from that query is very detailed. That detailed response should just be webhook. Why the heck not? Come on now. ... View more

Hi,   We would like to update the status of an ARB to 'suspended' via the API, but I don't see an obvious way to do this. I'm using the php sdk.   I see that there is the ARBUpdateSubscriptionRequest method, but status isn't a member of AuthorizeNet_Subscription, so it gives me a E00003 (unexpected element) error when I try sending 'status' or 'ARBSubscriptionStatusEnum'. Is there anyone who knows how to do this?   Thanks! ... View more

One of the items we used frequently in the AIM integration was the “x_test_request” toggle for the production server.  We're updating our integration for the new API and unfortunately, I am not seeing that option.  In the forums as well as through the Sandbox support, I've just been told to use an “authenticateTestRequest", which simply does an "authenticate credentials".  However, this is insufficient for onboarding and provisioning of new clients and I would like to see an actual "test mode" flag brought forward to the new API.   The use of this flag to change into test mode on the production server does several things for us: 1.       It allows us to do full end-to-end testing of our setup (outside of the actual API integration).  While we can use sandbox credentials for this, this becomes a QA issue for setup/provisioning.  Using this flag allows us to set up everything exactly as needed and then simply flip a switch to "go live" on our end, as a service provider. 2.       Having the ability to use live server credentials in test mode for our customers is important for those who are transitioning their service to us and may not be able to set their whole account into test mode.  There are other customers with which we may just not be able to control the test mode status of their account for various reasons, so having this control at the API level (for individual transactions) is very important. 3.       It is important even in test mode to be able to get the same “accept/decline” responses as we formerly could in AIM, and not just do “authenticate credentials”.  How a given merchant may use the transaction data with us will vary based on their application and we need to be able to do full QA testing.   By the way, even if it did what we needed, I do not see an option in your API to just do an “authenticateTestRequest”.  There is no code sample in that section of the API reference, so I’m guessing it’s not included as a formal part of the API? ...

Would it please be possible to support EMV transactions without UI components in a background service on Android devices?   It would make it so much easier to integrate EMV transactions in solutions that already support AIM transactions and provide e.g. signature capture, if simply the required information (authentication credentials, amount, invoice #) had to be provided to that background service which would just return the result of the transaction.   Thanks for considering! ...

Currently only 3 tablets are supported by the In-Person SDK for Android:   Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 1. and 2. seem not to be in production any more, and 3. is fairly expensive.   The Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 seems to provide very good value for its price but is not completely supported by the In-Person SDK for Android. When using the currently only supported chip card reader (BBPOS Chipper 2X) e.g. the standard EMV transaction is very slow (15-20s), the VISA Quick Chip transaction doesn't work (with or without UI), and the stripe reader is not supported.   Would it be possible to support this tablet fully for EMV transactions, please?   Thanks much for considering! ...

Currently we need to two buttons for managing an order payment - create/edit customer profiles and make payment. Why not let the customer get to the edit customer profile from the hosted payment form. Then after initiating a payment, if they don't see the payment option in the profile list or realize expiration date is wrong, etc, they can handle it all without returning to our site, clicking another button to manage profiles, return to our site, and then click to try paying again.   It could be a button on the hosted payment form that brings up the hosted customer profile form and when the customer is done returns to the hosted payment form.     ...

Like this forum post, I would like to offer two simple buttons to customer -  manage profile and make payment.   https://community.developer.authorize.net/t5/Integration-and-Testing/Accept-Hosted-with-Customer-Profiles/m-p/58237/highlight/true#M32905   The solution in the post suggested submitting the following idea - "Perhaps if you call the form with a profile ID, it automatically presents the list of saved payment methods to the customer, allowing the customer to pick one, or click a button to enter a new one (either for that transaction or to save in their profile)?"   The current documentation states for the payment form - "When the form is displayed in the browser, the 4 most recent payment profiles for that profile ID will be displayed. The customer can choose between these payment methods or choose to use a new payment method."   Why make this limitation? For the very few customers that we have that would have more than 4 payment profiles, why not a 'more' link and show them all or just show them all in most recently used order? Instead we have to read the payment profiles onto our site just in case the profile the customer wishes to use wasn't in the list.  ... View more
