[#7558] Billing Address Issue with authorize.net

Company and Phone are not part of the standard fields that are transmitted to a credit-card acquirer and not needed for AVS, as credit-cards are always in a person's name.

Therefore they do not appear on the payment form. And therefore they are not transmitted to the acquirer.

This makes sense for privacy reasons and is conform to privacy regulations ("need to know" / GDPR regulations).

Any reason you need that ?

(sorry for slow reply here)

Well, Authorize.net is supporting "Company" and "Phone" fields. So, why not pass (or make an option in CB so that I can choose to pass if I want to) those fields to authorize.net ?

Our clients are receiving the email from authorize.net , and that email message has those fields missing, despite the user entering those information. So, as a vendor, I just can't explain why those fields are missing in the email message despite the users entering them.

The fields that authorize.net is receiving are related to the credit card for AVS purposes only and correspond to the last form that the user can adapt to correspond to the credit card, if it differs from the invoicing address. It is not the invoicing address or e.g. the delivery address.

Actually, you can, and should, parameter your authorize.net account to not send emails to your customers, as CBSubs can do that with your own customer data.

That email is actually an email for the owners, and not the users. And the owners want to know those two important information from the email without having to login to Joomla and go to CB.

You could use CBSubs Emails to setup your plans to email the owners details directly from CB.
