CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I'm working with a client that's been using UberCart to sell memberships. The current system creates an ARB on Authorize.net.

Is there a way to capture the transactions generated by the existing subscriptions in CiviCRM? It would be great if we didn't have to have people renew their memberships via CiviCRM (although not devastating if we can't).

When Authorize.net processes an ARB subscription that was created outside of CiviCRM, does it post to the Silent Post URL? What does CiviContribute do with that if it can't correlate it to an existing contribution/pledge/recurring payment? Can I populate CiviCRM with the information from the existing subscriptions so I can capture them?

Admittedly, I'm ramping up on this new feature and the Authorize.net payment processor pretty quickly. Is there documentation somewhere on the "flow" of how an ARB gets processed? I've looked, but haven't been able to find anything.

Thanks for your help!

It's not so much creating the memberships as keeping the ARB's that are already set up. Members have been signed-up to auto-renew already (via UberCart). When the existing ARB payment triggers at a future date, I want to be able to capture that payment (at the least) and, preferably, renew a membership that I've imported from the old system into CiviCRM.

I've been looking at the code in CRM/Core/Payment/AuthorizeNetIPN.php and the data structures in civicrm_membership, civicrm_membership_payment, civicrm_contribution and civicrm_contribution_recur and it seems doable.

According to the comments in AuthorizeNetIPN.php,

    //we only get invoice num as a key player from payment gateway response.
    //for ARB we get x_subscription_id and x_subscription_paynum
