Good mornign everyone,

I am new to Authorize.Net and trying to do some initial research on the set of products and services that Authorize.Net has to offer.  I read throught the AIM Developer Guide and the CIM Developer Guide and have a question about using CIM and AIM together.

I know that i need to make api calls to CIM to store credit card info and billing address info there and to retrieve that information from there.

My ultimate goal is to allow users to shop on the site without having to re-enter their CC info for every transaction.  I want them to be able to pull up a saved CC that was used before and use that for every subsequent transaction.

Once I have retrieved the stored CC info and billing address info from the CIM api call, how do i use that in a transaction when using AIM?  I don't see some sort of token in the response package where i could use that token that is associated with a specific CC that's saved in the CIM, to submit it in a transaction request to the gateway.  And based on the AIM documentation, there isn't a field in the request to store a token value.

Thank you very much for your help on this matter.

Much appreciate it.
