Technical Integration Overview: AuthorizeNet & Clarity eCommerce

This integration leverages an iPaaS to create a robust, event-driven data pipeline between Clarity eCommerce and AuthorizeNet. It focuses on secure, real-time synchronization of critical payment and order data, ensuring consistency and compliance across your business operations.

Data Flow Steps

Connectors & Authentication: Establish secure API connections to both Clarity eCommerce (OAuth 2.0/API Keys) and AuthorizeNet (API Login ID/Transaction Key/Signature Key) within the iPaaS credential vault.

Event Listener Configuration: Configure Clarity eCommerce webhooks to send 'Order Created', 'Customer Updated', 'Inventory Changed' events to the iPaaS. Set up iPaaS to listen for AuthorizeNet webhooks for 'Transaction Status', 'Settlement', 'Fraud Event', 'Subscription Status'.

Data Mapping & Transformation: Visually map fields between Clarity eCommerce entities (Order, Customer, Payment) and AuthorizeNet entities (Transaction, CustomerProfile, PaymentProfile, Subscription) using the iPaaS's low-code designer. Apply necessary transformations (e.g., currency conversion, status code mapping).

Business Logic & Orchestration: Design workflows in the iPaaS to define the sequence of operations (e.g., on 'Order Created' event: call AuthorizeNet `createTransaction`, then update Clarity eCommerce order, then push to ERP). Implement conditional logic for fraud scores, payment declines, or subscription status.

Error Handling & Monitoring: Configure automated retry mechanisms with exponential backoff for transient API errors. Set up real-time alerts for critical failures and centralized logging for audit trails.

Deployment & Governance: Utilize iPaaS's CI/CD capabilities to promote integration flows from Dev to QA to Production environments, ensuring version control and rigorous testing.

Data Mapping

Key Entities & Data Mapping for AuthorizeNet & Clarity eCommerce

A successful integration hinges on precise mapping of core business entities. Our iPaaS provides visual tools and AI assistance to ensure data integrity and seamless flow between Clarity eCommerce and AuthorizeNet.

Order / Transaction

The central entity for purchases and their corresponding payment events.

AuthorizeNet Fields

[field, transactionId],[description, Unique ID for AuthorizeNet transaction.] [field, amount],[description, Transaction amount.] [field, transactionStatus],[description, Status (e.g., approved, declined, settled).] [field, invoiceNumber],[description, Reference to original Clarity eCommerce order ID.] [field, customerIp],[description, Customer IP for fraud checks.] [field, authCode],[description, Authorization code.]

Clarity eCommerce Fields

[field, orderId],[description, Unique ID for Clarity eCommerce order.] [field, totalAmount],[description, Total order value.] [field, status],[description, Order status (e.g., Pending, Processing, Paid, Shipped).] [field, customerId],[description, Associated customer.] [field, paymentInfo.transactionId],[description, Gateway transaction ID.] [field, paymentInfo.status],[description, Payment status.]

Mapping Notes

Clarity eCommerce's `orderId` often maps to AuthorizeNet's `invoiceNumber` or `order.invoiceNumber`. `Clarity eCommerce.totalAmount` maps to `AuthorizeNet.amount`. `Clarity eCommerce.paymentInfo.transactionId` stores `AuthorizeNet.transactionId`. Careful mapping of payment statuses (e.g., 'Paid' in Clarity vs. 'Approved'/'Settled' in AuthorizeNet) is crucial.
