Credit card numberanchor

Searching on credit card number has a few restrictions. If you search using "starts with" you can only enter up to the first 6 digits. If you search using "ends with" you can only enter the last 4 digits. And you can't search on "contains."

  1. C#
var request = new CustomerSearchRequest().
    CreditCardNumber.StartsWith("510510");
ResourceCollection<Customer> collection = gateway.Customer.Search(request);

request = new CustomerSearchRequest().
    CreditCardNumber.EndsWith("5100");
collection = gateway.Customer.Search(request);

Expiration dateanchor

Expiration date also has restrictions. "is" and "is not" work, while "starts with," "ends with," and "contains" do not.

  1. C#
var request = new CustomerSearchRequest().
    CreditCardExpirationDate.Is("12/13");
ResourceCollection<Customer> collection = gateway.Customer.Search(request);

request = new CustomerSearchRequest().
    CreditCardExpirationDate.IsNot("12/13");
collection = gateway.Customer.Search(request);

Created atanchor

You can search for customers that were created at a certain time. For instance, you can find all customers which were created in the past 3 days.

An example:

  1. C#
var searchRequest = new CustomerSearchRequest().
    CreatedAt.GreaterThanOrEqualTo(DateTime.Now.AddDays(-1));

ResourceCollection<Customer> results = gateway.Customer.Search(searchRequest);

Payment method token with duplicatesanchor

You can search for customers that have duplicated credit card numbers using payment method token as a reference.

An example:

  1. C#
var searchRequest = new CustomerSearchRequest().
    PaymentMethodTokenWithDuplicates().Is("paymentMethodToken");

ResourceCollection<Customer> results = gateway.Customer.Search(searchRequest);

All customersanchor

You can get a list of all customers stored in the Vault. This will return a resource collection of customer objects. Search results are currently capped so this may not work for everybody.

  1. C#
ResourceCollection<Customer> collection = gateway.Customer.All();
