Are these the only fields output to the silent post? Specifically I am looking for the subscription name in ARB's. Thanks. John,

Your code is great and many thanks.

Are these the only fields output to the silent post? Specifically I am looking for the subscription name in ARB’s.

Thanks.

Here is the background: I've built three separate .NET web pages using authorize.net SIM to process the credit card transactions for our company store, our membership department, and our donations department. For the company store, I'm using SIM and receiving the Silent Post transaction information without a problem. The company store has its own authorize.net account. For the membership department, I am using Simple Checkout buttons in .NET web pages and also using SIM. I receive the silent post transaction information without a problem for the membership department. The membership department shares its authorize.net account and the silent post page with the donations department. Here is the problem: I am not receiving Silent Post information for the donations department who is sharing an authorize.net account and the silent post page with the membership department. I am using a .NET web page and SIM to process the donations department information. Besides writing the information to a database, I have the silent post page set to write to a text file whenever the page is queried. I have verified that information will print to the text file even if the silent post data is empty. The problem is that the transactions from the donations department don't appear to be sent to the Silent Post page from authorize.net. I've talked to authorize.net support but they can't provide any guidance as to why the Silent post data from the membership department transactions aren't reaching the silent post page. Do you have any suggestions on what might be causing the Silent Post to fail for the donations department web page? Thank you for the wonderful authorize.net resource that you provide. Hi Johnny,

But I see plenty of these sent to Silent Post. I am not sure whether all expired cards are sent to Silent Post, or just the ones where the wrong expiration date was provided to Authorize.Net and they found out it was expired when processing the transaction. But you will see expired transactions sent to Silent Post so it's best to be aware of them and handle them accordingly. Authorize.Net says expired cards will not be sent to Silent Post.

Thank you so much for putting this information together! I have a question about expired credit cards... In your document, you said: However, if a credit card on file within an ARB subscription has expired a transaction will not process thus you will not receive a Silent Post response, as you only receive Silent Post responses to transactions that process through your account. In order to be notified about expired credit cards, you can enable the ARB email notifications from within the account control panel. But later on, you also said: If there was an error the card is expired x_response_code will contain a value of 3. Expired credit cards will have this response code and x_response_reason_code will contain a value of 8. So what really happens when a credit card with a subscription expires?
