CIM: Refunds

[kevinfairchild]

I've successfully tested both SALE and VOID transactions using the CIM SDK code samples and they work as expected.

With Refund transactions, though, I ran into an odd issue.

When trying to perform a Refund on a CIM Sale transaction, I'm getting the following error message back:

"Customer Profile ID and Customer Payment Profile ID OR masked Credit Card Number OR masked ABA Routing Number and masked Bank Account Number are required."

When Crediting a CIM Sale transaction, I'm sending the CustomerProfileID, CustomerPaymentProfileID, Amount, TransID.

I'm also passing in some order-related details (invoice number and description) for the refund as well as the same extra options as on my Sale/Void transactions, which is "x_delim_data=True&x_relay_response=False&x_delim_char=,&x_encap_char=|"

I double-checked the CIM guide and it says that CreditCardNumberMasked does not need to be included, but will be validated if it is included.

Through experimentation, I found that the only way I could get the Refund transaction to go through, however, was to include the CustomerProfileID, CustomerPaymentProfileID, TransID, *AND* the CreditCardNumberMasked.

Has anyone else run into this before? Is it a known bug/feature? Or is it just something odd in my implementation?

I'm getting the exact same issue.

I'm not able to recreate the problem myself. I just successfully credited a CIM transaction with this XML structure:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<createCustomerProfileTransactionRequest xmlns="AnetApi/xml/v1/schema/AnetApiSchema.xsd">
  <merchantAuthentication>
    <name>xxxxxx</name>
    <transactionKey>xxxxxxxxxx</transactionKey>
  </merchantAuthentication>
  <transaction>
    <profileTransRefund>
      <amount>5.00</amount>
      <customerProfileId>123456</customerProfileId>
      <customerPaymentProfileId>1234567</customerPaymentProfileId>
      <transId>1234567890</transId>
    </profileTransRefund>
  </transaction>
</createCustomerProfileTransactionRequest>

Also, I'm using this via the SOAP WebService code supplied in the SDK, if that matters...

Thank you, for test purpose i create the transaction in sandbox account for particular customer but why that transaction is not displaying in transaction details and Transaction id is 0  but mail was delivered successfully,how can i make transaction with existing customer profile in my sandbox account.. need sample code since i am new to authorize.net payment gateway.

[RaynorC1emen7]

When the transactionid is 0, it mean is on testmode. For sandbox account make sure testmode is off.

Sample codes is under "DOWNLOADS"
