Create Customer Profile from Transaction in Test Mode

[stanaka]

This feels like a catch 22.

To create a customer profile from a transaction, you need to pass the transaction ID from a successful transaction (https://developer.authorize.net/api/reference/index.html#customer-profiles-create-a-customer-profile...). But in test mode, all transactions return a 0 transaction ID. So I am receiving the error: E00099: Customer profile creation failed. This transaction ID is invalid.

Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

If you're testing in the sandbox, you should be running in live mode.  Test Mode is really only useful for testing credentials.
