Create a CIM profile by calling ChargeCreditCard

[rsuliteanu]

The API documentation suggests that when charging a credit card, one can create a CIM profile by setting transactionRequest.profile = new customerProfilePaymentType { createProfile = true }

When testing that in the Sanbox, the response.profileResponse field is null.

Thanks in advance for any insights!

Hello @rsuliteanu

It's hard to tell without more informatin.  Was the transaction successful or were any errors returned?  What is the transaction ID?

The transactions go through without any errors. I tried it with an email that was new to CIM and also one that had pre-existing customer and payment profiles. In all cases, the responseResult field was null and no errors were reported. Is this functionality actually supported in the ChargeCreditCard call or do I need to take the successful transaction id and subsequently call the CreateCustomerProfileFromTransaction method?

Many Thanks,

Ron

Sorry, I meant profileResponse field of the createTransactionResponse object.

Which language SDK are you using?

ASP.NET C#

Code excerpt:

var transactionRequest = new transactionRequestType
{
transactionType = transactionTypeEnum.authCaptureTransaction.ToString(), // Charge the card

amount = order.GrandTotal,
payment = paymentType,
billTo = billingAddress,
lineItems = lineItems,
profile = new customerProfilePaymentType
{
createProfile = true
},
order = new orderType
{
invoiceNumber = order.OrderNumber,
description = order.Partner.PartnerName
},

and then

var controller = new createTransactionController(request);
controller.Execute();

var response = controller.GetApiResponse();

And here, response.profileResponse is always null

Thanks!
