Account.fetchByWebSessionVid

Use Vindicia’s Hosted Order Automation (HOA) feature to create Subscribe objects that contain sensitive payment information, such as credit-card account numbers. Using HOA, you may have your customers submit their data through a specially designed Web order form, accessed from your server, which allows you to store credit card numbers directly on Vindicia’s servers. Because HOA completely bypasses your server at form submission, your PCI compliance efforts may be mitigated. See Hosted Order Automation in the Subscribe Programming Guide for details on HOA. Within your HOA implementation, call the fetchByWebSessionVid method to retrieve the Account object created by HOA on Vindicia’s servers when a customer submits an order form that results in a one-time or recurring bill. You must also create a WebSession object on Vindicia’s servers before serving the form to your customer to track the form’s submission to Vindicia. For details, see The WebSession Object. The WebSession object’s VID serves as the tracking ID for various activities, from serving the order form to a customer, to returning a success or failure page to that same customer. The success page to which HOA redirects the customer’s browser after successfully processing the data is the order form. On that page, the WebSession object’s VID is available to you because HOA passes it during the redirection. In turn, you can pass that VID as the input parameter to this call and retrieve the Account object created by HOA. Finally, you can extract the contents of the Account object and include them, as appropriate, in the success page to be returned to the customer.

Input

srd: sparse response description, a SOAP string (which must be a JSON object), in which you specify the elements you want returned.This parameter enables the calling system to constrain a method call to return only components you specify. This gives you greater control over returned content, and improves response time within the Vindicia platform by reducing the processing needed for the call. Some fields are required, either practically or in the WSDL, and will be returned regardless of the srd. A null srd returns the complete response. vid: the WebSession object’s Vindicia unique identifier for tracking the submission of the order form.

Output

return: an object of type Return that indicates the success or failure of the call. account: an Account object created by HOA as a result of an order form submitted by a customer.

Returns

In addition to those listed in The Return Object, this call returns:

Return Code	Return String
`400`	`Missing required parameter 'vid'.`
`404`	`Unable to find requested Account: No matches.`

Example

// To call the fetchByWebSessionVid on a success web page:

$webSessionVid = …; //passed in by redirected page
$soap = new WebSession();
$response = $soap->fetchByVID($webSessionVid);

if ($response['returnCode'] == 200) {
   $fetchedWs = $response['data']->session;
   // check if the Subscribe API call made by HOA was successful
   $retCode = $fetchedWs->apiReturn->returnCode;

   if ($retCode == 200) {

      // Assuming HOA created an Account object, let's fetch it

      $soapAcct = new Account($soapLogin, $soapPwd);
      $resp = $soapAcct->fetchByWebSessionVid($webSessionVid);

      if ($resp['returnCode'] == 200) {      
         $createdAccount = $resp['data']->account;

         // Get Account contents here to be included in
         // HTML returned to the customer.
         }
      else {
      // Return error message to customer
      }   
   }
   else {
   // return failure page to customer
   }
}
else {
// Return error message to the customer 
}
