ChargeCreditCard.cs or sample code doesn't generate declines? How do you verify address or zip?

[gauravmokhasi]

Address verification is done at the processors and not by Authorize.net. Authorize.net therefore has a simulator that lets you generate specific AVS responses for testing purposes. See http://developer.authorize.net/hello_world/testing_guide/ for more details. You would specify zip=46282 to get a general declined transaction.

I believe @cltw is asking us to add Address and Zipcode fields to the sample code to understand how these values are passed in the request

[cltw]

Right the ChargeCreditCard.cs does not pass in those values, so how then could they be magically verified? Do I need to use the AuthorizeCreditCard.cs and CapturePreviouslyAuthorizedAmount.cs instead?

[gauravmokhasi]

zip is an optional parameter, which is probably why it isn't included in ChargeCreditCard.cs. Here's how you can add it.

var paymentType = new paymentType { Item = creditCard };
customerAddressType billingZip = new customerAddressType { zip = 46282 };
// 46282 generates a decline; give another value for zip if you want the transaction to go through

var transactionRequest = new transactionRequestType
{
  transactionType = transactionTypeEnum.authCaptureTransaction.ToString(), // charge the card
  amount = 133.45m,
  payment = paymentType,
  billTo = billingZip
};

For more information on optional fields, see http://developer.authorize.net/api/reference/index.html#payment-transactions-charge-a-credit-card

Thank you so much! I will try it out. Same thing for address then? customerAddressType billingAddress = new customerAddressType { address = "123 Sesame St." };

[gauravmokhasi]

You're welcome :) Yes, same thing. But remember, there's only one billTo in transactionRequest. So if you want to submit both address and zip in the same request, your object would change to something like customerAddressType addressDetails = new customerAddressType { address = "123 Sesame St", zip = 45000 }; and billTo = addressDetails

Ok thanks!

Does email paramater go in the customerAddressType, or customerDataType? Intellisense shows both. I need to send email so authorize.net can auto-send a confirmation email.

customerAddressType addressDetails = new customerAddressType { address = a_address, city = a_city, state = a_state, country = a_country, zip = a_zip };

        var transactionRequest = new transactionRequestType
        {
            transactionType = transactionTypeEnum.authCaptureTransaction.ToString(),   
            amount = a_amount,//133.45m,
            payment = paymentType,
            billTo = addressDetails,
            customer = new customerDataType { email = "_@live.com"}

        };

email goes in customerDataType but it looks like you've already figured that one out. Thanks for the feedback.
