AIM XML CP testing "The Market Type is invalid"

[LisaDMendez0426]

Greetings,

  I am working on making the transition from NVP submissions to the new AIM XML submissions.

  I began working with a new sandbox account as its my understanding that all sandbox accounts now have the ability to test both CNP and CP transactions - which is what m real retailer will have.

 My initial tests sending a string which includes track data is consistently returning error code "The Market Type is invalid".

 I can not find any settings within the sandbox merchant account to enable a CP AIM string with track data.

 Possible error points - does my track data string need editing so that the test card numbers are used?

 Or is the track data in some way rejected?  

 I've tried removing the first/last characters from the track data and see no change in the error code.

  Thanks for any additional ideas.

Hello @LisaDMendez0426 

It will be easier to diagnose if you include your entire request and response with any sensitive information redacted.

Thank you for your reply - I apologize for the delay I was looking at wrong place for notification.

This is the edited string I'm testing with.  All CR LF are entered for readability here only.  

These numbers are not valid.  

I am using the TEST API post URL

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

For Card Present, you need to pass these too

retail	The retail element contains two elements: marketType and deviceType.
marketType	0 for ecommerce 1 for moto 2 for retail	Default value is 2.
deviceType	7 for mobile POS

Thank you!  You've moved me on from that error to a new one.  Now to investigate that one.

Much appreciated.

Being a new bee with usage of Authorize.net API, its support helped me to attain success

Hello @DanishJamia

The transaction id response of zero indicates you have your sandbox in test mode. Instead you should run the sandbox in live mode.

<transId>0</transId>
