Authorize.net "duplicate window" setting for extending "duplicate transaction" check.

[internetchris]

Hi Group,

I've been trying to figure out if ActiveMerchant has the ability to change the Authorize.net default 2 minute window for allowing a duplicate transaction to 5 hours or something. 

I found this article, but other than this article I haven't found any documentation on how to implement the :duplicate_window setting.

http://markmail.org/message/zirb6gaj7obbcgyt

Does anyone have information in this regard. I've done both, without errors, but in test mode I'm not sure if it's working.

 gateway = ActiveMerchant::Billing::AuthorizeNetGateway.new(

    :login => login,

    :password => password,

    :duplicate_window => 1800, #timeout in 5 hours

    :test => true)

I also tried adding it to the actual transaction - I'm using Authorize.net's CIM service.

@gateway.create_customer_profile_transaction({:transaction => {:type => :auth_capture,

                                                                                    :amount => amount,

                                                                                    :customer_profile_id => customer_cim_id,

                                                                                    :duplicate_window => 18000,

                                                                                    :customer_payment_profile_id => payment_cim_id}})

I'm not getting errors with either, but it would be nice to know what the proper implementation is. I'm not confident either of these will work. I want to create a 5 hour window where a duplicate cannot be entered. 

Thanks!

Chris

Hi Group,

I thought I would bump this. I found if I turned off "test mode" I would get a realistic response from Authorize.net. This setting doesn't change anything. Does anyone know how to increase the 2 minute duplicate window for CIM transactions?  If it's not built in already, I don't know I have the time to write a patch. Not to mention, that previous link I provided looks like a patch was written, but I can't figure out if it's an undocumented feature?  I've looked through the gem files and don't see reference to it for CIM transactions :-(

If anyone has experience messing with the 2 minute window "x_duplicate_window" and CIM regarding ActiveMerchant, I'm all ears. 

Thanks,

Chris
