Unify & Optimize Payments: Chase Orbital Paymentech & First Data Integration

Orchestrate transactions, streamline reconciliation, and enhance fraud prevention across both your payment processors with a powerful iPaaS solution.

The Challenge

The Dual Payment Processor Dilemma: Complexity & Inefficiency

Managing multiple payment gateways like Chase Orbital Paymentech and First Data independently introduces significant operational overhead and strategic limitations. Without a unified integration strategy, businesses face a fragmented payment ecosystem.

  • Fragmented Payment Data: Difficulty consolidating transaction and settlement data from two distinct sources for accurate financial reporting.
  • Manual Reconciliation Headaches: Time-consuming and error-prone manual processes to reconcile daily settlements and identify discrepancies across both processors.
  • Lack of Operational Agility: Inability to dynamically route transactions for optimal cost, performance, or failover, limiting strategic flexibility.
  • Inconsistent Fraud Detection: Siloed transaction data hinders comprehensive, real-time fraud analysis across all payment channels.
  • Complex Refund & Chargeback Management: Disparate workflows for managing refunds and chargebacks depending on which processor handled the original transaction.
  • Increased PCI DSS Scope & Risk: Maintaining compliance independently for each system, potentially increasing audit complexity and security vulnerabilities.

Technical Integration: Bridging Chase Orbital & First Data via iPaaS

Our integration solution provides an enterprise-grade framework to connect Chase Orbital Paymentech and First Data. It leverages a modern iPaaS to abstract the complexities of each payment gateway's API, offering a unified interface for payment orchestration, data transformation, and workflow automation.

Data Flow Steps

Connectors & Authentication: Establish secure, API-based connections to both Chase Orbital Paymentech and First Data using pre-built, robust connectors. Authenticate using OAuth 2.0 or secure API keys, managed centrally by the iPaaS's secret management.

Canonical Data Model: Define a universal 'Payment Transaction' data model within the iPaaS that harmonizes entities like Transaction, Customer, Order, Refund, and Settlement from both Chase Orbital and First Data. This standardized model facilitates seamless data exchange with ERPs/CRMs.

Workflow Design (Low-Code): Visually design integration flows using the iPaaS's drag-and-drop builder. This includes logic for intelligent transaction routing, real-time payment processing, automated reconciliation, and chargeback handling.

Data Transformation & Mapping: Utilize AI-assisted mapping tools to transform data payloads between the canonical model and each processor's specific API schema. Apply business rules for data enrichment and validation.

Event-Driven Orchestration: Configure webhooks from both Chase Orbital and First Data to trigger real-time workflows within the iPaaS upon events like 'transaction authorized', 'refund processed', or 'chargeback received'.

Error Handling & Monitoring: Implement a multi-tiered error handling strategy with automated retries, dead-letter queues, and real-time alerts. Monitor transaction volumes and API performance for both processors from a centralized dashboard.

Deployment & Governance: Deploy integration flows through secure Dev -> QA -> Prod pipelines, ensuring version control, rigorous testing, and compliance with PCI DSS and other financial regulations.

Data Touchpoints

Source Systems (e.g., eCommerce, ERP, CRM): Order details, Customer data, Payment requests, Refund requests.
Chase Orbital Paymentech: Transaction authorizations, captures, sales, refunds, voids, payment method tokens, settlement reports, chargeback notifications.
First Data: Transaction tokenization, authorizations, captures, refunds, voids, payment method tokens, daily settlement reports, chargeback notifications.
Destination Systems (e.g., ERP, CRM, Analytics): Payment status updates, Invoice application, GL postings, Customer profile updates, Fraud alerts.

"A central iPaaS platform acts as the hub. On one side, it connects to various source systems (eCommerce, CRM, ERP) initiating payment requests. On the other side, it maintains bi-directional, event-driven connections to Chase Orbital Paymentech and First Data. The iPaaS intelligently routes transactions to the appropriate processor, receives status updates, and then synchronizes the normalized payment data back to the source systems for fulfillment, accounting, and analytics. Settlement reports from both processors flow into the iPaaS for consolidated reconciliation with the ERP."

Real-World Applications

Integration Use Cases

Explore how the integration behaves in real business scenarios, with clearly defined steps, outcomes, and execution patterns.

Intelligent Multi-Gateway Transaction Routing

A global eCommerce retailer uses the iPaaS to intelligently route customer transactions. Payments from North America are routed to Chase Orbital, while European transactions are directed to First Data to optimize local processing fees and compliance. During peak sales, if one gateway experiences a delay, the iPaaS automatically reroutes overflow traffic to the other, ensuring no lost sales.

Integration Steps:

  1. 0 Customer checks out on eCommerce site.
  2. 1 iPaaS receives payment request and analyzes customer's billing address/currency.
  3. 2 Based on rules, iPaaS selects optimal processor (Chase Orbital or First Data).
  4. 3 If selected processor is unavailable or slow, iPaaS automatically reroutes to the alternative.
  5. 4 Payment is processed, and status is updated in ERP/OMS.

Business Outcome

Maximized transaction success rates, reduced processing costs, enhanced customer experience, and increased system resilience.

Technical Documentation

API Endpoints & Data Logic

Technical details for developers and architects.

Method Endpoint Purpose
POST /authorize Pre-authorize a payment, holding funds. Used for multi-stage payments or subscription setup.
POST /capture Finalize an authorized transaction. Typically triggered by order fulfillment.
POST /sale Combine authorization and capture. Common for immediate eCommerce payments.
POST /refund Process full or partial refunds for captured transactions.
GET /status Retrieve the current status of a specific transaction.

Transformation Logic

  • Schema Normalization: Map disparate field names (e.g., 'transactionId' vs. 'transactionReference') and data types to a unified canonical model.
  • Status Code Harmonization: Convert processor-specific status codes (e.g., 'Approved', 'Success', 'Declined') into a standardized set for consistent reporting.
  • Currency Conversion: If applicable, apply real-time currency conversion rates for multi-currency transactions.
  • Data Enrichment: Augment transaction data with customer demographics, product details, or fraud scores from other systems.
  • Fee Calculation: Parse and standardize fee structures from settlement reports for accurate GL posting.
  • Address Standardization: Cleanse and standardize billing/shipping addresses for AVS checks and customer data consistency.

🛡️ Error Handling

  • Processor Downtime: iPaaS automatically reroutes transactions to the operational processor or queues them for later processing.
  • API Rate Limit Exceeded: iPaaS intelligently throttles requests and retries with exponential backoff.
  • Invalid Payment Details: Transaction is rejected by processor; iPaaS updates order status and notifies customer service.
  • Data Mismatch: During reconciliation, iPaaS flags discrepancies between settlement reports and ERP entries for manual review.
  • Webhook Failure: iPaaS robustly retries webhook notifications and logs failures for investigation, ensuring no events are missed.
