[mashpy]

We have implemented authorize.net on our site. Some users pay successfully via their card. But some users are getting problems. Tried to solve this but there is not thread like this error message.

Here is the full error message -

E00003 The element 'creditCard' in namespace 'AnetApi/xml/v1/schema/AnetApiSchema.xsd' has invalid child element 'expirationDate' in namespace 'AnetApi/xml/v1/schema/AnetApiSchema.xsd'. List of possible elements expected: 'cardNumber' in namespace 'AnetApi/xml/v1/schema/AnetApiSchema.xsd'.

I will be so much grateful to you if you help me please. We already missed some users payment and getting bad reputation of the website.

I would assume something is wrong with $card_number going to the function.

[mashpy]

No. Look at the message carefully. Something wrong on the expiredate. but what is wrong?

E00003 The element 'creditCard' in namespace 'AnetApi/xml/v1/schema/AnetApiSchema.xsd' has invalid child element 'expirationDate' in namespace 'AnetApi/xml/v1/schema/AnetApiSchema.xsd'. List of possible elements expected: 'cardNumber' in namespace 'AnetApi/xml/v1/schema/AnetApiSchema.xsd'.

[kabutotx]

I have seen this message if a field is missing or out of order and it hits on the next field. For example it could be looking for cardNimber and it finds exporationDate instead.

Can the sdk log the xml it sends to see?

[mashpy]

Can you say me how you solved this issue?

[oursainsburys]
