Transaction / Payment Transaction

The core financial event representing a payment, authorization, capture, refund, or void. Critical for financial reconciliation and order status updates.

AuthorizeNet Fields

transactionId (AuthorizeNet) amount transactionStatus responseCode authCode submitTimeUTC invoiceNumber customerIp cardType

Sage Pay Fields

transactionId (Sage Pay) vendorTxCode amount currency status transactionType customerEmail paymentMethod cardType createdDate

Mapping Notes

Map AuthorizeNet `transactionId` to Sage Pay `originalTransactionId` for refunds. Harmonize `transactionStatus` and `status` codes from both gateways to a canonical enterprise payment status. `vendorTxCode` from Sage Pay is crucial for linking to internal `orderId` or `invoiceId`. Ensure `amount` and `currency` are consistently mapped and transformed.

Multi-Gateway eCommerce Payment Orchestration

Dynamically route eCommerce transactions through either AuthorizeNet or Sage Pay based on criteria like transaction type, customer region, card type, or real-time gateway performance. Ensure payments are processed optimally and reliably.

Integration Steps:

  1. 0 Customer places order on eCommerce platform.
  2. 1 iPaaS intercepts order, applies routing logic (e.g., UK customers to Sage Pay, US to AuthorizeNet).
  3. 2 Payment request sent to selected gateway (AuthorizeNet `createTransaction` or Opayo `/api/v3/transactions`).
  4. 3 Payment status (success/failure) is received via webhook/API response.
  5. 4 Order status updated in ERP/eCommerce, and transaction details are logged and synchronized.

Business Outcome

Optimized payment processing costs, improved transaction success rates, enhanced regional payment flexibility, and resilient payment infrastructure.
