How to Pass BillTo Address & Name to php SDK?

[MilesYM]

Hi guys,

Thanks for this awesome samples, really helpful. I’m trying to pass the name on the card to the API but I’m not sure how to do. I figured out there was a BillTo field with name in the API requests parameters but I’m not able to find it in the PHP SDK.

So far my piece of code is very similar to the original example:

`

          // Common setup for API credentials  
    $merchantAuthentication = new AnetAPI\MerchantAuthenticationType();   
    $merchantAuthentication->setName($this->ci->config->item('AUTHNETAPILOGINID'));   
    $merchantAuthentication->setTransactionKey($this->ci->config->item('AUTHNETKEY'));   
            $refId = 'ref' . time();

    // Remove potential white spaces
    $ccn = preg_replace('/\s+/', '', $ccn);

    // Create the payment data for a credit card
    $creditCard = new AnetAPI\CreditCardType();
    $creditCard->setCardNumber( intval( $ccn ) );
    $creditCard->setExpirationDate( $exp );
    $creditCard->setCardCode( $cvc );
    $paymentOne = new AnetAPI\PaymentType();
    $paymentOne->setCreditCard($creditCard);

    $order = new AnetAPI\OrderType();
    $order->setDescription("Ticket");

    // Create a transaction
    $transactionRequestType = new AnetAPI\TransactionRequestType();
    $transactionRequestType->setTransactionType("authCaptureTransaction");   
    $transactionRequestType->setAmount( $amount );
            $transactionRequestType->setOrder( $order );
    $transactionRequestType->setPayment($paymentOne);

    $request = new AnetAPI\CreateTransactionRequest();
    $request->setMerchantAuthentication($merchantAuthentication);
    $request->setRefId( $refId );
    $request->setTransactionRequest($transactionRequestType);
    $controller = new AnetController\CreateTransactionController($request);
    $response_api = $controller->executeWithApiResponse(\net\authorize\api\constants\ANetEnvironment::PRODUCTION);   

    if ($response_api != null)
    {
                    // More Code
            }

@MilesYM Thanks for reaching out to us.

Similar to the other samples, the code for setting billing address should look something like this:

      // Create the Bill To info
      $billto = new AnetAPI\CustomerAddressType();
      $billto->setFirstName("Ellen");
      $billto->setLastName("Johnson");
      $billto->setCompany("Souveniropolis");
      $billto->setAddress("14 Main Street");
      $billto->setCity("Pecan Springs");
      $billto->setState("TX");
      $billto->setZip("44628");
      $billto->setCountry("USA");
         //Assign to the transactionRequest field
     $transactionRequestType->setBillTo($billto);

Steps

• Search the repository to get the class definition for the request type CreateTransactionRequest, which gives you
• the class TransactionRequestType for transactionRequestfield, which gives you
• the CustomerAddressType class for the billTo field and the setter to be called.

Great! Thank you so much Ashtru!

Sorry I haven’t see that in the samples! I’m going to try! What’s the minimum required ? Name and postal code ?

Thanks!

How do you do when there is a Middle name or a suffix in name ?

[ashtru]

In general, there are no required fields for a billing address. Some exception are:

• Depending on the processor some fields might be required. You can see the Request Tab for CreateTransaction API in developer reference

• Similarly for creating a shipping address,

• In the Merchant Interface(sandbox), in Customer Information Manager, if Add Profile is selected , for shipping address, atleast one out of name and company field must be provided.

[ashtru]

In case of middle name or suffixes, there is no defined convention. You can generally add middle names (or more commonly middle initials) into the first name fields. The issuers normally use initials for the middle names.

@MilesYM Please respond if you were able to get this issue resolved. We will close this issue for for now. Feel free to comment in case of any further questions!

We've updated the charge-credit-card and authorize-credit-card to show samples of this. (updated in PR#70)
