ClientExec import to WHMCS with Authorize.net CIM

[ejmerkel]

We are acquiring a small hosting company that is using ClientExec. We don't have access to the ClientExec system yet to try an import into WHMCS.  The ClientExec system uses Authorize.net's Customer Information Manager (CIM) which is a tokenized gateway that stores the customer's credit card at Authorize.net. 

My question is, once the data is pulled into WHMCS, will the Authorize.net CIM payments still work or will the customers need to re-input their credit card numbers? I am not sure how the tokenization works and if the necessary data will be pulled into WHMCS to keep the token reference in place?

If any one has any experience doing this, please let me know.

 

Thanks,

Eric

If WHMCS uses the same authorize.net account, and not a new one specific to WHMCS, then the tokens should still be valid for WHMCS .   During the import, no matter the method, you need to ensure that the gateway is set to Auth.net CIM module and that the gatewayid for the client is set to the token.  Importassist docs do not mention if those items are set and haven't had the pleasure of importing from clientexec.
