Is ARB store the user card info on its server or not.

[Ashlekh]

Hi I need to know that

1) Is ARB store the card info on its server?

2) If we are using CIM then We need to hit API again and again every month to transaction. or it itself cut the money from user bank. eg:

I am merchant and I am selling a prodcut wihch cose is 12000 USD. Now user want to pay 1000USD per month.

A) In CIM we need to create a cutomer profile and payment proflie by API. Then CIM automatic transfer the money every month from user card to merchant account or we need to hit api every month for this.

b) And  in CIM the first payment will be settled imedatily or not.

Thanks

1)Once the ARB is created, the credit card info are stored in authorize.net

2)Yes you would need to run your own schedule transaction each month.

A)CIM do NOT do anything automatic transfer

B)Yes when you create a transaction with CIM, you would get the response immediately

Thank again, I think you are the only person who help me a lot. 

In salesforce stackexhange I never get answer very quickly but here I got and cleared every point because of you. Great :smileyhappy:

I've some more quesitons for you..

A) In ARB

I am merchant and selling a product which cost is 12000 USD and user want to pay 1000 USD per month. Now.

1) Then how can I get the card is valid or not. 

2) How we transer first installment at the of creating subscription , (How first transaction take place immediately or we need to wait for that start time which we have provided to the subscription .)

3)  Do we need to delette subscription after all installment by API or ARB it self remove the subscription. 

4) How do we get the result of every transaction every month?

I know that I ask many question in one post but I need this all info other wise how can I implement all the things, If every thing will be cleared to me than it will easy for to implement in Salesforce.

Thank you

1 & 2)With ARB, if you need to know if the CC is valid or not, do a AIM for the first installment which you can get a response right away. then if it valid, set up ARB to start a the next installment.

3)You don't need to, but you can thru the API

4)You would need to setup silent post, which would post the transaction response to the URL that you setup.

Or you use the Transaction Detail API to check for them http://developer.authorize.net/api/transaction_details/

Or login to the merchant account to check the status.

Have you look at CIM? It give you more control but it doesn't automatically do transactions but you can make your own schedule job to create transactions
