Examples

PHP

For directions on how to set up the WSDL link, create “$token” and “$client”, go to PHP Soap How-to.

<?php 
 
try { 
 
  // CustNum for Customer to Copy  
  $CustNum="12345678";
 
  // $toMerchToken is setup with sourcekey
  // for merchant being copied to
  $NewCustNum=$client->copyCustomer($token, $CustNum,$toMerchToken);

  echo 'Error: ' . $e->getMessage(); 
 
} 
 
?>

Java

This example uses the USAePay Java library. For directions on how to install the library and create the token/client objects, go to either the Java JAX-RPC Howto or the Java JAX-WS Howto.

try {
 
  //CusNum From Customer to copy
  BigInteger CustNum = BigInteger("12345678");
 
  // toMerchToken is the token setup with a source key
  // for the merchant being copied to.
  BigInteger NewCustNum = client.copyCustomer(token, CustNum, toMerchToken);
 
} catch (Exception e) {
  System.out.println("Soap Exception: " + e.getMessage());
