Webhooks + ARB Declines

[usmcsaluki]

Over the last week or so I have begun developing a transaction reporting system for a digital accounting system, and have noticed some oddities or gaps in the webhooks regarding ARB transactions that get declined.  

At first, and after reviewing a few topics on this forum, I just enabled the "

net.authorize.payment.authcapture.created" webhook to receive event data, but that only appears to return successful/approved transaction event responses (for both ARBs and new transactions).  I then added the "net.authorize.customer.subscription.suspended" webhook into my application, and now I am receiving event data for my ARBs that are declined and are moved into "suspended" status.  However, I still have zero visibility on either webhook regarding regular ARB transactions that fail or go into "under review" status; is there another webhook I need to be consuming in order to see these as well?  The primary purpose of the accounting app behind this is to fully automate the transaction reporting so that my client doesn't have to copy/paste transaction or subscription Id's out of email receipts into a web form tied to Authorize.net's API, so any information on how to achieve the above would be really helpful!

Thank you in advance!

After I finish my current project I’ve got an ARB project. Question for you- exactly how will you use the declined webhook notifications? The obvious purpose would be to discontinue delivery of products/services to the subscriber in question.

For your business, is it typically the case that someone’s “must pay by” date will have a set value for each subscriber? I’ll probably be looking for a workaround for this as well, until the feature is released. I’ll post what I end up doing on this thread, if the client needs the service. I think you could use the transaction reporting API to address the same problem. It is a little convoluted, or will be most likely, but would work. You would just pull transaction lists and have a programmatic check against your list with XYZ due date.

After being force off of the Silent Post/MD5 - we are in need of this webhook also.

Bump!

We need it to track failed payments and trigger a custom email to the customer to update their card details.

Bump!

We also have the similar issue for failed ARB transaction.

@Anurag any updates, it's nearly a year later now.

Have you considered using a sha512 on your silent post? If it did what you needed it to before you should just upgrade your hash. Or do you face this issue others have reported where the sha512 is not in the response?

@Renaissance I was under the impression that Silent Post was being deprecated soon along with the MD5 Hash which has already been deprecated?

@cartpauj

Silent Post has been deprecated for a good bit now, but it is not end of life and no EOL has been announced. If you still want to use silent post you can, you just have to a) disable hash verification in your code or b) change your md5 verification to the sha512 verification.

The only thing that may affect you is some users have reported no sha512 in the response for ARB. Webhooks will be the way to go in the end. There is no declined payment webhook, but you can keep track of the subscription dates on your end and update accordingly without too much work. I have not had to do this but I do think it will be straightforward.

So maybe your first step is to log some test transaction responses and see if the sha512 hash is in there. If that works, might be best to patch up your silent post url while you work out what to do with webhooks.

@Renaissance 

Thanks for the information! We will look into continuing using Silent Post for ARB failed payment tracking and Webhooks for everything else.

I looked through the API but couldn't find a way to do this: Is it possible to get all (or the latest) transactions searching by the ARB subscription number?

@cartpauj

I believe you should be able to get the most recent 20 transactions via the API, using the subscription id.

We are moving from SIM to AcceptHosted method.
We enabled WebHooks and are using it.
In the SannBox environment, we tested and we are receiving DECLINED  (net.authorize.payment.fraud.declined) notifications.
 
We moved to Production and we are not receiving DECLINED(net.authorize.payment.fraud.declined) notifications. We are only receiving SUCCESFUL(net.authorize.payment.authcapture.created) transaction notifications. 

Are SanBox and Production environments not the same in terms of functionality? 

If so, when can we expect the DECLINED(net.authorize.payment.fraud.declined) webhook notifications in Production ?
