AriaSystems API - proc_payment_id

Question

Aria payments system method for create account is create_acct_complete, which must return some data with payment_proc_id field - the processor payment id, but I can`t get it - this field is always empty!

Who knows how I can get this proc_payment_id? Does anybody work with ariasystems at all?

I was told by Aria that their online documentation is not up to date.

The best resource that I've gotten from them is a bunch of PDF's spanning all versions of their API 6.1-6.4, which do not allow republishing without their written consent.

In any case, based on my understanding this proc_payment_id value should be returned when you are invoicing in unison with the create_acct_complete call. That is provide supplemental plans or a master plan that has a cost associated with the create_acct_complete call.

This likely also depends on your payment processor you have.

If you're only setting the customer account up without any invoicing items it will always be return null.

Their documentation lists that the proc_payment_id value is a 1000 character string that is nullable.
