I have created ARB subscription, but for that we need to pass customer credit card informaton and its expiration date, Can we create subscription by customer id ? We don't want to store any card information of the customer, but we have customer id, Is it possible or do any guys have any other idea ? Any help will be really appreciated

Yes, you can create a subscription from a customerProfileId as long as you also have the customerPaymentProfileId as well.
Here is sample XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ARBCreateSubscriptionRequest xmlns="AnetApi/xml/v1/schema/AnetApiSchema.xsd">
<merchantAuthentication>
<name>API_USERNAME</name>
<transactionKey>API_TRANSACTION_KEY</transactionKey>
</merchantAuthentication>
<refId>Sample</refId>
<subscription>
<name>Sample subscription</name>
<paymentSchedule>
<interval>
<length>1</length>
<unit>months</unit>
</interval>
<startDate>2020-08-30</startDate>
<totalOccurrences>12</totalOccurrences>
<trialOccurrences>1</trialOccurrences>
</paymentSchedule>
<amount>10.00</amount>
<trialAmount>0.00</trialAmount>
<profile>
<customerProfileId>12345678</customerProfileId>
<customerPaymentProfileId>987654342</customerPaymentProfileId>
</profile>
</subscription>
</ARBCreateSubscriptionRequest>
Or if you use the JSON APIs:
{
"ARBCreateSubscriptionRequest": {
"merchantAuthentication": {
"name": "API_USERNAME",
"transactionKey": "API_TRANSACTION_KEY"
},
"refId": "123456",
"subscription": {
"name": "Sample subscription",
"paymentSchedule": {
"interval": {
"length": "1",
"unit": "months"
},
"startDate": "2020-08-30",
"totalOccurrences": "12",
"trialOccurrences": "1"
},
"amount": "10.29",
"trialAmount": "0.00",
"profile": {
"customerProfileId": "12345678",
"customerPaymentProfileId": "987654342"
}
}
}
}
Here's how you do it using their SDK:
Remove:
$creditCard = new AnetAPI\CreditCardType();
$creditCard->setCardNumber("4111111111111111");
$creditCard->setExpirationDate("2038-12");
/*echo "<pre>";
print_r($creditCard);
die;*/
$payment = new AnetAPI\PaymentType();
$payment->setCreditCard($creditCard);
$subscription->setPayment($payment);
and:
$billTo = new AnetAPI\NameAndAddressType();
$billTo->setFirstName("John");
$billTo->setLastName("Smith");
$subscription->setBillTo($billTo);
Replace with:
$profile = new AnetAPI\CustomerProfileIdType();
$profile->setCustomerProfileId($customerProfileId);
$profile->setCustomerPaymentProfileId($customerPaymentProfileId);
$subscription->setProfile($profile);
