Question

I am using Authorize.net payment gateway in my magento based shopping cart. It is Authorize Only, which means I first authorize the card, an after shipping product to customer I captures the amount.

Authorize paygate stores information like cc_exp_month, cc_exp_year inside “additional_information” field in table sales_flat_order_payment in serialize form.

Is there any method in magento to simply retrieve these values (cc_exp_month, cc_exp_year) from additional_information column?

Answer 1

I believe the next 2 lines will do the trick:

$ccExpMonth = $order->getPayment()->getAdditionalInformation('cc_exp_month');
$ccExpYear = $order->getPayment()->getAdditionalInformation('cc_exp_year');

Of course $order is instance of Mage_Sales_Model_Order.
