Question

I am working with the magento api and I have run into a bit of an issue with creating an order. I have been able to get everything up to creating the order to work correctly. The issue that I am seeing is when I call the method to create the order I always get the exception: Credit card number mismatch with credit card type.

I am running Magento ver. 1.6.2.0

I have verified that the card I am testing with works via the magento frontend.

Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

This is the test code that I am using:

<?php
$proxy = new SoapClient('http://localhost/index.php/api/soap/?wsdl');
$sessionId = $proxy->login('shopapi', 'test123');

// Create a quote, get quote identifier
$shoppingCartId = $proxy->call( $sessionId, 'cart.create');

// Set customer, for example guest
$customerAsGuest = array(
    "firstname" => "testFirstname",
    "lastname" => "testLastName",
    "email" => "[e-mail]",
    //"website_id" => "0",
    //"store_id" => "0",
    "mode" => "guest"
);
$resultCustomerSet = $proxy->call($sessionId, 'cart_customer.set', array( $shoppingCartId, $customerAsGuest) );

// Set customer addresses, for example guest's addresses
$arrAddresses = array(
    array(
        "mode" => "shipping",
        "firstname" => "testFirstname",
        "lastname" => "testLastname",
        "company" => "testCompany",
        "street" => "testStreet",
        "city" => "testCity",
        "region" => "CA",
        "postcode" => "90049",
        "country_id" => "US",
        "telephone" => "0123456789",
        "fax" => "0123456789",
        "is_default_shipping" => 0,
        "is_default_billing" => 0
    ),
    array(
        "mode" => "billing",
        "firstname" => "testFirstname",
        "lastname" => "testLastname",
        "company" => "testCompany",
        "street" => "testStreet",
        "city" => "testCity",
        "region" => "CA",
        "postcode" => "90049",
        "country_id" => "US",
        "telephone" => "0123456789",
        "fax" => "0123456789",
        "is_default_shipping" => 0,
        "is_default_billing" => 0
    )
);
$resultCustomerAddresses = $proxy->call($sessionId, "cart_customer.addresses", array($shoppingCartId, $arrAddresses));

// add products into shopping cart
$arrProducts = array(
    array(
        "product_id" => "1",
        "qty" => 1
    )
);
$resultCartProductAdd = $proxy->call($sessionId, "cart_product.add", array($shoppingCartId, $arrProducts));


// get list of products
$shoppingCartProducts = $proxy->call($sessionId, "cart_product.list", array($shoppingCartId));


// set payment method
$paymentMethod = array(
    "method" => "authorizenet",
    "cc_type" => 'MC',
    "cc_number" =>'5555555555554444' ,
    "cc_exp_month" => 9,
    "cc_exp_year" => 2014,
    "cc_cid" => 123     
);
$resultPaymentMethod = $proxy->call($sessionId, "cart_payment.method", array($shoppingCartId, $paymentMethod));


// create order
$resultOrderCreation = $proxy->call($sessionId,"cart.order",array($shoppingCartId));
var_dump($resultOrderCreation);
 ?>

Answer 1

Your call to cart_payment.method is succeeding, according to your post, so the CC number is validating to be a MC card, as expected.

The problem is that Magento, due to PCI concerns, does NOT save the CC number in the database (in most cases).

So, as you are sending payment details, along with CC number and CID, in one request and then creating the order in another, the state is lost and the CC number and CID are blanked out.

When the order is created, the payment data is validated a second time and when that happens, it has an empty CC number with a type of MC, causing the fault you see.

Unfortunately, I do not see a way to make cart.order accept payment data as a work around.

You could write a module to extend the checkout APIs with a new method that does both steps in a single call and that would likely solve the problem.
