Author Topic: Fee Amounts on Contributions and Authorize.net as a processor (Read 606 times)

I've seen a thread or two about fee amounts and paypal (http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php?topic=15721.0), but no mention of authorize.net or other processors. CiviContribute has a field for Fee amount, and i would presume the fee amount is something relatively easy to calculate, or a value that many payment processors pass back to you in some way.

Is there a way to record the fee amount on transactions run through authorize.net?

I took a quick look at paypal pro code and authorize.net code and seems like we are retrieving the gross_amount and transaction_id from the return packet, but not the net_amount or the fee_amount

I'm not sure if either of those two processors return the other amounts. If so, might not be too hard to actually retrieve and store the values in civicrm.

If you can take a look at auth.net API and see if it does return the net/fee amount that would be great. Maybe a CA developer could investigate and file an issue and a patch if so. The relevant files are:

CRM/Core/Payment/{PayPalImpl,AuthorizeNet}.php

the code is towards the end of the function doDirectPayment
