gateway capture $transactionReference = 0 Permanently

[MohamedFathiM]

this my code

  try {
            $creditCard = new \Omnipay\Common\CreditCard([
                'number' => $data['cardNumber'],
                'expiryMonth' => $data['expiration_month'],
                'expiryYear' => $data['expiration_year'],
                'cvv' => $data['cvv'],
            ]);

            $transactionId = 'ref' . time();

            $response = $this->gateway->authorize([
                'amount' => $data['amount'],
                'currency' => 'USD',
                'transactionId' => $transactionId,
                'card' => $creditCard,
                'customer_id' => auth()->user()->customer->id,
            ])->send();

            if ($response->isSuccessful()) {

                $transactionReference = $response->getTransactionReference();

                $response = $this->gateway->capture([
                    'amount' => $data['amount'],
                    'currency' => 'USD',
                    'transactionReference' => $transactionReference,
                ])->send();

                $transaction_id = $response->getTransactionReference();
                $paymentMethod = $response->getData()['transactionResponse']['accountType'];

                $isPaymentExist = Invoice::where('transaction_id', $transaction_id)->first();

                if (!$isPaymentExist) {
                    $payment = new Invoice();
                    $payment->price = $data['amount'];
                    $payment->transaction_id = $transaction_id;
                    $payment->order_id = $data['order_id'];
                    $payment->customer_id = auth()->user()->customer->id;
                    $payment->payment_date = date('yy/m/d');
                    $payment->payment_method = $paymentMethod ?? 'Online';
                    $payment->due_date = date('yy/m/d');
                    $payment->save();
                }

                return back()->with('success', "Payment is successful. Your transaction id is: " . $transaction_id);
            } else {
                // not successful
                return back()->withErrors(Lang::get($response->getMessage()));
            }
        } catch (Exception $e) {
            return back()->withErrors($e->getMessage());
        }

returned $transaction_id is always zero , the mode of authorize.net is test ,
Is that correct ?

Just seen this and noted. Will get back to you ASAP.

That essentially is correct and is how I have some test scripts successfuly running. The transaction reference and ID look like they may be a little mixed up on the middle, but I don't know enough about your database to say for sure.

The response to the initial authorize will return a transactionReference generated by the gateway. That trancationReference is then passed to the capture endpoint. The same transactionReference is then returned with the response to that (you then call it transaction_id at this point for looking it up on your persistent payment storage). The response to the capture will also return the same transactionReference.

On the gateway response, the transId (the capture) and the refTransId (the transaction being captured) are one and the same. Fir a void or refund, I believe they will differ, since those would be separate transactions.

thank you , it is clear
