Unfortunately ARB and CIM do not work together as you cannot retrieve ARB information with it. So if you wish to use CIM you will need to change the whole process and use CIM from start to finish.

So how does that work, exactly? If I wanted to use CIM because it manages my customer profiles, how can I automate the recurring billing?

Is there a way to tell whether or not someone’s “subscription” is due and run a script to process the payment? If so, what would said script generally look like?

Create transaction returns E00027. No help changing validationMode to testMode.

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you, Mitchell

I had to make a modification to the class to get it to work..Maybe there is a better way to do what I’ve done, but if so I wasn’t able to figure it out.

If i plug in your code exactly as in the example you provided (changing the fields and what not) it will error out in the case of a repeat visitor, as when running createCustomerPaymentProfile it errors out stating that there is a duplicate payment profile.

CIM doesn’t, however, tell us what the ID of the duplicate profile is. In your code you have a wrapper function for getCustomerProfile, but in the parseResults() function it doesn’t seem to be prepared for the output of getCustomer Profile.

I therefore added another property to the class private $paymentProfiles;

I also added one private function to parse a nested xml element into an array:

private function xml2array ( $xmlObject, $out = array () ){
foreach ( (array) $xmlObject as $index => $node )
$out[$index] = ( is_object ( $node ) ) ? $this->xml2array ( $node ) : $node;

return $out;
}

then, on parseResults() i added: $this->paymentProfiles = (array) $this->xml2array($xml->profile->paymentProfiles);

This way you can run getCustomerProfile, it will return the entire profile object and we can through payment profiles into the $cim->paymentProfiles variable. Then you can write a simple function that checks the last 4 of the CC against all existing profiles, and if there is a match it grabs that profile instead of trying to recreate it.

I’m skipping creating Shipping profiles for simplicity’s sake.

Is there a simpler way to go about what I just did? Otherwise my way is working…I guess I feel like I might be doing it wrong since nobody else has posted any issues in this thread.
