I am using the AuthNetWS interface to ARB. I am attempting to use the Trial Period option for a subscription. It appears that if I set the TrialAmount = 0 then I recieve the "Both Trial Amount and Trial Occurrences are required." error. What am I doing wrong? Is having a 1 month free possible? My example shows 1 month free and 11 month @ $49.95 for 12 month total.
Here is the code I am using:
// create subscription and card objects from App_Code\ArbApiInterface.cs
AuthNetWS.ARBSubscriptionType subscription = new AuthNetWS.ARBSubscriptionType();
// subscription name
subscription.name = "Sample Subscription";
// payment info
subscription.payment = new AuthNetWS.PaymentType();
subscription.payment.Item = creditCard;
// billing info
subscription.billTo = billToAddress;
// add subscription for 12 monthly installments
subscription.paymentSchedule = new AuthNetWS.PaymentScheduleType();
subscription.paymentSchedule.startDate = new DateTime(DateTime.Now.Year, DateTime.Now.Month, DateTime.Now.Day);
subscription.paymentSchedule.startDateSpecified = true;
subscription.paymentSchedule.totalOccurrences = 12;
subscription.paymentSchedule.totalOccurrencesSpecified = true;
subscription.paymentSchedule.interval = new AuthNetWS.PaymentScheduleTypeInterval();
subscription.paymentSchedule.interval.length = 1;
subscription.paymentSchedule.interval.unit = AuthNetWS.ARBSubscriptionUnitEnum.months;
subscription.paymentSchedule.trialOccurrences = 1;
subscription.paymentSchedule.trialOccurrencesSpecified = true;
subscription.trialAmount = 0;
subscription.amount = 49.95;
subscription.amountSpecified = true;
// customer info
subscription.customer = new AuthNetWS.CustomerType();
subscription.customer.email = EmailTextBox.Text;
subscription.customer.phoneNumber = phone;
// add subscription to request
subscriptionID = AuthNet.CreateSubscription(subscription);
