Can we create ARB subscription by customer id?

Question

I have created ARB subscription, but for that we need to pass customer credit card informaton and its expiration date, Can we create subscription by customer id ? We don't want to store any card information of the customer, but we have customer id, Is it possible or do any guys have any other idea ? Any help will be really appreciated

Do you mean a `customerProfileId` created using the CIM API? — John Conde, Sep 16 '19 at 11:55

Yes, you can create a subscription from a customerProfileId as long as you also have the customerPaymentProfileId as well.

Here is sample XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ARBCreateSubscriptionRequest xmlns="AnetApi/xml/v1/schema/AnetApiSchema.xsd">
    <merchantAuthentication>
        <name>API_USERNAME</name>
        <transactionKey>API_TRANSACTION_KEY</transactionKey>
    </merchantAuthentication>
    <refId>Sample</refId>
    <subscription>
        <name>Sample subscription</name>
        <paymentSchedule>
            <interval>
                <length>1</length>
                <unit>months</unit>
            </interval>
            <startDate>2020-08-30</startDate>
            <totalOccurrences>12</totalOccurrences>
            <trialOccurrences>1</trialOccurrences>
        </paymentSchedule>
        <amount>10.00</amount>
        <trialAmount>0.00</trialAmount>
        <profile>
            <customerProfileId>12345678</customerProfileId>
            <customerPaymentProfileId>987654342</customerPaymentProfileId>
        </profile>
    </subscription>
</ARBCreateSubscriptionRequest>

Or if you use the JSON APIs:

{
    "ARBCreateSubscriptionRequest": {
        "merchantAuthentication": {
            "name": "API_USERNAME",
            "transactionKey": "API_TRANSACTION_KEY"
        },
        "refId": "123456",
        "subscription": {
            "name": "Sample subscription",
            "paymentSchedule": {
                "interval": {
                    "length": "1",
                    "unit": "months"
                },
                "startDate": "2020-08-30",
                "totalOccurrences": "12",
                "trialOccurrences": "1"
            },
            "amount": "10.29",
            "trialAmount": "0.00",
            "profile": {
                "customerProfileId": "12345678",
                "customerPaymentProfileId": "987654342"
            }
        }
    }
}

Here's how you do it using their SDK:

Remove:

$creditCard = new AnetAPI\CreditCardType();
$creditCard->setCardNumber("4111111111111111");
$creditCard->setExpirationDate("2038-12");

/*echo "<pre>";
print_r($creditCard);
die;*/

$payment = new AnetAPI\PaymentType();
$payment->setCreditCard($creditCard);
$subscription->setPayment($payment);

and:

$billTo = new AnetAPI\NameAndAddressType();
$billTo->setFirstName("John");
$billTo->setLastName("Smith");

$subscription->setBillTo($billTo);

Replace with:

$profile = new AnetAPI\CustomerProfileIdType();
$profile->setCustomerProfileId($customerProfileId);
$profile->setCustomerPaymentProfileId($customerPaymentProfileId);
$subscription->setProfile($profile);
