Custom Invoice Numbers for Authorize.net
August 01, 2012, 12:01:43 pm
We have been using the Authorize.net gateway and have been recently trying to figure out how Authorize is getting its "Invoice #" values? I am assuming Civi is passing something to the gateway with each transaction, but there seems to be no rhyme or reason to the ordering. Single payments end up as something like "ec93da64c0e34953d48c" and ARB payments as double or sometimes 3 digit numbers.

What we would really like to do is customize each Invoice number with something useful like the contact ID followed by a time stamp. Has anyone done this - customize the invoice number being passed to the processor for every transaction?

Also - does anyone know if Authorize.net uses the same Invoice # for ARB each subscription?

Okay ... I am just now noticing that for the ARB transactions, the Civi Invoice number and the Authorize.net Invoice number do not match up.

The Civi Invoice # follows the same pattern as single payments . i.e. "fd8c345190ff612fdbb02f6a50ead3e1" - but all of the Authorize.net ARB payments have different number like "10" or "930". This is only happening with ARB payments, not single payments.

It does this for all ARB payments.

Currently, we have just one ARB that has hit the second payment in the cycle, and it has the same Invoice number for both - "10"

The other are on the first payment of the cycle, but they all have non-matching Invoice numbers as well.

At a minimum, I think we would like to see matching invoice numbers between Authorize and Civi. Ideally, I would like to customize what that invoice number is and was looking for the best method to do so.
