PHP Class For Authorize.net Automated Recurring Billing Payments API

First, thanks for the code! Second, if using this with GoDaddy, you will need to specify the use of an SSL Proxy.

GoDaddy shows the proxy info here:
http://help.godaddy.com/article.php?article_id=288&topic_id

You can paste the following right after the curl_init(); in the class (about line 57)

//required for GoDaddy
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE, CURLPROXY_HTTP);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY,"http://proxy.shr.secureserver.net:3128");
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 120);
//required for GoDaddy


Ok, I'm an idiot.. I was updating the WRONG auth.net account!!

However, I still was wondering how to use the delete record and update record functions with this script.

THANKS

I am having the same issue... I doubt it's related to this class because I get it regardless... However I is giving me an E007 error message which is Invalid User Authentication...

I know I have the right login id and transaction key. I have also created new transaction keys just to make sure and using them unveils the same results..

Ne ideas?

Hello

i am developing a website where Automated Recurring Billing is required.

Here i want to update database whenever payment will happen. in time of subscription i am able to update database.can you please inform me how can i call my php script for updating database in time of next occurrence of payments for the subscription?

FYI: My company has just released I-Bill IT, a library/control that offers a rich object-model for interfacing with Authorize.net. It is written in C#/.NET, but is also callable from any COM/scripting language on Windows platforms (ASP/vbscript, PHP, etc.). There is sample code for PHP on our website.

As far as I know, it is the only library currently out there that supports Authorize.net's Automated Recurring Billing (ARB) feature as well as Advanced Integration Method (AIM). As I said above, it offers a rich object model over the Authorize.net services, making it much easier and faster to add such functionality to your application.

Also, we worked closely with Authorize.net during the development of the control and it is certified by them for both AIM and ARB.

Download Url: http://www.itdevworks.com/download.aspx
Online documentation: http://www.itdevworks.com/Documentation/iBillit/1.0/

If you download the control without a purchased license, it will run in "trial" mode, where you can either submit payments to Authorize.net's test gateways, OR you can submit transactions to the live gateways, but in test mode. There is no timeout on the trial version.

To purchase a license, the cost is $99.00 per server/installation.

I hope this helps someone out.

I changed test to false and entered our production login and transkey and can still get test card numbers to work but not real transactions. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? I guess this is the same problem Kai is having.

When i use the CIM method for transaction iam getting the error "E00009
The payment gateway account is in Test Mode. The request cannot be processed.".
My account is in test mode but i cant test transaction can some one help

Hello Everybody,

This example(sample code) was just running well but siddenly its showing me the error as
isSuccessful:
error in payment
isError: 1
getSubscriberID:
getResponse: Start Date must not occur before the submission date.
getResultCode:Error
getString:

Can anybody tell me what is the reason of that?

Thanks,
Srikanta

(in response to Kai)

The ARB system is not an on demand system. If you want to know that a card validates as real and has enough funding to pay for your subscription, then you must run a manual AIM request using AUTH_ONLY for the amount you wish to charge. Then if this comes back successful, run your ARB request with the same data. The reason for this is that Authorize.net processes ARB requests in batch form.

The time at which Authorize.net processes your ARB requests may vary but it's usually been around 3:00AM for me. You can setup what is called the silent postback URL. This URL is a script that you write that lives on a server you control. When ARBs are processed in the wee hours of the morning, the result of each ARB is sent to your silent postback URL. The data sent to your script will indicate whether an ARB request was actually successful or not. If the ARB request was denied then you can take the appropriate actions to disable that member's account.

Probably the best idea is to do a full AUTH_CAPTURE request for the first subscription period and then setup an ARB with the same data to start on the next period. For example, charge the customer's card with AIM for the first month, and make an ARB request that starts next month. If you're doing a free trial period then the first part is free anyway, so it doesn't really matter, you can just use the regular ARB API.

hello,

Have you tried using ARB for eChecks? I get an error that says that the documented field (under the node in the XML) is not recognized. IE, I replaced the node and children with the node and its children, but Authorize.net API doesn't seem to like the node under for some reason. Anyone else tried this or gotten the recurring billing for eChecks to work?

When I try to do a test subscription I get:
isSuccessful: 1
cool, it worked!
isError:

Hey Really Cool!!! The code works like anything. Thanks a Lot :)
Nice work.

Hi i need to offer 15 day trial for an ARB that will be charged every 3 months. so here is how i set it up:
$arb->setParameter('interval_length', 3); ----------> put 3
$arb->setParameter('interval_unit', 'months');--------------> put months
$arb->setParameter('startDate', date("Y-m-d"));
$arb->setParameter('totalOccurrences', 1200);
$arb->setParameter('trialOccurrences', 1);----------------> i put 1 here but i know it is wrong
$arb->setParameter('trialAmount', 0.00);
$arb->setParameter('amount', 59.97);
$arb->setParameter('refId', '1');
$arb->setParameter('cardNumber', $_POST['number']);
$arb->setParameter('expirationDate', $expdate);

can someone help ? thanks!
