I am using the PHP SDK to create Subscriptions for customers in the following flow.
Create customer -> add payment profile -> create subscription.
The first subscription is created perfectly. After that if I try to create a subscription that on my side is a different subscription but has the same amount, interval, and occurrences I get the following error.
Error Code E00012
"You have submitted a duplicate of Subscription 4362497. A duplicate subscription will not be created."
The issue I have with this is that I'm passing a different refId and a different subscription name.
Is there anyway to create multiple subscriptions that have the same amount, interval and occurrences? There must be some way to define a different subscription that has those other fields the same.
The ARB system checks a new subscription for duplicates, using these fields:
- subscription.article.merchantID
- subscription.article.customerInfo.payment.creditCard.cardNumber
- subscription.article.customerInfo.payment.eCheck.routingNumber
- subscription.article.customerInfo.payment.eCheck.accountNumber
- subscription.article.customerInfo.customerID
- subscription.article.customerInfo.billingInfo.billToAddress.firstName
- subscription.article.customerInfo.billingInfo.billToAddress.lastName
- subscription.article.customerInfo.billingInfo.billToAddress.company
- subscription.article.customerInfo.billingInfo.billToAddress.streetAddress
- subscription.article.customerInfo.billingInfo.billToAddress.city
- subscription.article.customerInfo.billingInfo.billToAddress.stateProv
- subscription.article.customerInfo.billingInfo.billToAddress.zip
- subscription.orderInfo.amount
- subscription.orderInfo.invoice
- subscription.recurrence.startDate
- subscription.recurrence.interval
- subscription.recurrence.unit
If all of these fields are duplicated in an existing subscription, E00012 will result. Modifying any of these fields should result in a unique subscription.
The invoice number seems like the best field to modify to make each subscription unique.
