Robust Integration Architecture

Our integration architecture combines the power of Microsoft Dynamics AX's ERP capabilities with BridgePay's payment processing, orchestrated by a highly scalable and secure iPaaS. This ensures resilient, real-time data exchange.

Data Flow Steps

Event-Driven Architecture: Leveraging BridgePay webhooks for real-time payment status updates to trigger immediate actions in AX.

Request-Reply Pattern: For synchronous operations like submitting a payment request to BridgePay from an eCommerce frontend.

Batch Processing: For high-volume, non-real-time tasks like daily settlement report ingestion and General Ledger postings to AX.

Canonical Data Model: Standardizing core entities (Customer, Order, Payment) within the iPaaS to simplify mapping and ensure consistency.

Circuit Breaker Pattern: To prevent cascading failures when one system becomes unresponsive.

Data Touchpoints

iPaaS Platform (Integration Platform as a Service)
Microsoft Dynamics AX (ERP System)
BridgePay (Payment Gateway)
Secure Gateway/VPN (for on-premise AX connectivity)
Message Queues (e.g., Azure Service Bus for asynchronous processing)
Secrets Manager (for API keys and credentials)
Monitoring & Alerting System

"The architecture typically features a central iPaaS layer connecting Dynamics AX (on-premise or cloud via secure gateway) and BridgePay (cloud API). Event-driven mechanisms (webhooks) are preferred for real-time updates, complemented by scheduled syncs for batch operations. A secure data vault for credentials and a monitoring dashboard are integral."

Data Mapping

Data Entity Mapping

Explore how data flows between systems with intelligent field mapping and transformation logic.

SalesOrder (AX) <-> Order / Payment (BridgePay)

Links customer purchase requests in AX with corresponding payment transactions in BridgePay.

BridgePay Microsoft Fields

SalesId CustAccount OrderDate SalesType CurrencyCode CustPurchaseOrder

Dynamics AX Fields

paymentId transactionId amount currency status paymentMethodType orderId

Mapping Notes

BridgePay's `transactionId` maps to a custom field or external reference on AX's SalesOrder and CustInvoiceJour. `amount` and `currency` must be harmonized. BridgePay `orderId` should correspond to AX `SalesId` for clear traceability.

Technical Documentation

API Endpoints & Data Logic

Technical details for developers and architects.

Method Endpoint Purpose
POST /AIF/SalesOrderService/create Creates new Sales Orders in Dynamics AX, triggered by successful payments in BridgePay from eCommerce or other sales channels.
POST /AIF/CustCustomerService/create Creates new customer records in Dynamics AX, often synchronized from an eCommerce platform or CRM after a BridgePay transaction.
POST /AIF/CustCustomerService/update Updates existing customer records in Dynamics AX with changes from CRM or other master data sources, potentially including new tokenized payment methods.
POST /AIF/LedgerJournalService/create Posts General Ledger Journal entries into AX, typically used for daily settlement reconciliation from BridgePay.
POST /AIF/CustInvoiceJourService/create Creates customer invoices in AX, often after a successful payment capture via BridgePay.

Transformation Logic

  • Payment Status Mapping: BridgePay's `status` (e.g., 'Approved', 'Captured', 'Refunded') is mapped to corresponding Dynamics AX order or invoice statuses (e.g., 'Paid', 'Partially Paid', 'Refunded').
  • Currency Conversion: If multi-currency operations are involved, the iPaaS handles real-time or batch currency conversion based on defined exchange rates.
  • Customer De-duplication: Logic to match incoming BridgePay customer data against existing Dynamics AX `CustCustomer` records, preventing duplicates.
  • GL Account Derivation: Rules to dynamically determine the correct `AccountNum` and `OffsetAccount` in Dynamics AX for various transaction types (sales, fees, refunds) from BridgePay.
  • Address Standardization: Harmonize billing and shipping addresses from BridgePay to fit Dynamics AX's format, including country codes and postal formats.

🛡️ Error Handling

  • BridgePay payment authorization failure due to insufficient funds.
  • Dynamics AX validation error during Sales Order creation (e.g., invalid product ID).
  • Network timeout during an API call to either system.
  • Data type mismatch during transformation (e.g., string instead of number).
  • Duplicate customer creation due to race condition or missing de-duplication logic.

Support & Information

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about integration implementation, security, and best practices.

Security & Compliance FAQs

How does this integration ensure PCI DSS compliance?
The integration prioritizes PCI DSS compliance by leveraging BridgePay's tokenization services. Raw cardholder data never touches your systems or the iPaaS; only secure payment tokens are transmitted and stored. The iPaaS also enforces TLS 1.2+ encryption for all data in transit and adheres to strict security standards for credential management.

Financial Automation FAQs

Can I automate daily financial reconciliation between BridgePay and Dynamics AX?
Absolutely. The iPaaS fully automates this process by retrieving daily settlement reports from BridgePay, harmonizing transaction data with your bank statements, identifying discrepancies (often with AI assistance), and automatically posting consolidated entries to your Dynamics AX General Ledger. This drastically reduces manual effort and speeds up financial close cycles.

Technical Details FAQs

What kind of API access does Microsoft Dynamics AX provide for payment integrations?
Microsoft Dynamics AX primarily offers integration capabilities through its Application Integration Framework (AIF), which supports SOAP-based web services. While not a modern REST API out-of-the-box, our iPaaS provides dedicated connectors that consume these AIF services and can expose them as standardized APIs for easier consumption by other systems, abstracting AX's underlying complexities.

Real-time Sync FAQs

How does an iPaaS support real-time payment processing from BridgePay to Dynamics AX?
The iPaaS enables real-time processing through an event-driven architecture. BridgePay sends immediate webhook notifications (`payment.success`, `payment.failed`) to the iPaaS upon transaction completion. The iPaaS then instantly captures these events, processes the data, and triggers the creation or update of Sales Orders, Customers, or Invoices in Dynamics AX, ensuring near real-time data synchronization.

AI & Automation FAQs

What role does AI play in enhancing this integration?
AI significantly enhances this integration by providing intelligent automation. This includes AI-powered data validation and cleansing, anomaly detection in financial transactions (e.g., suspicious amounts or GL postings), smart mapping suggestions for complex data fields, and automated exception handling for reconciliation discrepancies. AI reduces manual intervention and improves data quality and decision-making.

Error Management FAQs

How are errors and failed payments handled to maintain data consistency?
A robust iPaaS provides multi-tiered error handling. It centralizes error logging with detailed context, implements automated retry mechanisms with exponential backoff for transient errors, and routes persistent failures to dead-letter queues. Automated alerts notify relevant teams, and AI can even suggest auto-resolution actions for common failure patterns, ensuring data consistency and preventing loss.

Low-Code/No-Code FAQs

Can I use low-code tools to customize payment workflows in Dynamics AX?
Absolutely. Modern iPaaS platforms offer intuitive low-code/no-code environments. This empowers business users and citizen integrators to design, build, and deploy custom workflows involving Dynamics AX and BridgePay – such as specific fraud review processes, dynamic GL account derivations, or custom refund approval flows – with minimal coding, accelerating automation initiatives and reducing IT backlog.

Deployment & Governance FAQs

How do I manage different integration environments (Dev, QA, Prod) for Dynamics AX and BridgePay?
Our iPaaS facilitates this with comprehensive environment management features. You can configure separate connections for your Dynamics AX (Dev, QA, Production) and BridgePay (Sandbox, Production) instances. The platform supports version control for integration flows and mappings, and implements automated promotion pipelines to move tested configurations systematically between environments, ensuring stability and consistency.
