Data Mapping

Data Entity Mapping

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

Order

Represents a customer's purchase, flowing from Shopify to financial processing via Orbital and potentially to an ERP. Critical for tracking sales and fulfillment.

Chase Orbital Paymentech Fields

orderId (eCommerce/ERP) totalAmount currency status (pending, paid, refunded) customerId shippingAddress billingAddress transactionId (Orbital)

Shopify Fields

id order_number customer_id financial_status fulfillment_status total_price line_items shipping_address billing_address created_at updated_at tags transactions (Shopify payment transactions)

Mapping Notes

Shopify's `id` and `ordernumber` map to Orbital's `orderId` (often passed as a merchant order reference). Shopify's `totalprice` maps to Orbital's `amount`. `financial_status` in Shopify is updated based on `status` from Orbital transactions. Line items are crucial for detailed transaction context.

Technical Documentation

API Endpoints & Data Logic

Technical details for developers and architects.

Method Endpoint Purpose
POST /authorize To pre-authorize a payment amount against a customer's card, typically used for order holds or subscription setup where capture occurs later. Integrates with Shopify checkout post-order creation.
POST /capture To finalize a previously authorized transaction, moving funds from the customer's account to the merchant's. Often linked to Shopify order fulfillment events.
POST /sale To combine authorization and capture into a single transaction, used for immediate payment processing like in eCommerce checkout flows triggered by Shopify order creation.
POST /refund To process a full or partial refund for a previously captured transaction, requiring the original transaction ID. Triggered by Shopify refund actions.
POST /void To cancel an authorized transaction before it has been captured. This prevents the funds from ever being transferred. Used for cancelling pending Shopify orders.
GET /status To retrieve the current status of a specific transaction using its ID, crucial for reconciliation and error handling, informing Shopify order financial status updates.

Transformation Logic

  • Currency Alignment: Ensure Shopify's `total_price` currency matches Orbital's expected currency format.
  • Address Standardization: Normalize `billingaddress` and `shippingaddress` from Shopify to meet Orbital's AVS (Address Verification Service) requirements.
  • Status Mapping: Translate specific Orbital `status` codes (e.g., 'Approved', 'Declined', 'Referral') into Shopify's `financial_status` (e.g., 'paid', 'pending', 'voided') and a canonical status for ERP.
  • Metafield Assignment: Store Chase Orbital `transactionId` and other relevant payment details (e.g., `cardType`, `last4Digits`) as Shopify `metafields` on the `Order` for enhanced visibility.
  • Line Item Aggregation: For detailed financial reconciliation, aggregate `line_items` from Shopify orders into a format suitable for ERP invoicing or Orbital transaction context.
  • Settlement Report Parsing: Parse raw settlement report data from Orbital (often CSV or XML) into a structured format for comparison with ERP GL entries.

🛡️ Error Handling

  • Payment Gateway Decline: Chase Orbital declines a transaction. iPaaS updates Shopify order `financial_status` to 'voided' or 'pending payment' and notifies customer.
  • API Rate Limit Exceeded: Shopify or Orbital API returns 'Too Many Requests' (429). iPaaS initiates exponential backoff and retries.
  • Data Transformation Failure: Invalid data format during mapping between Shopify and Orbital. iPaaS logs error, routes to dead-letter queue, and alerts.
  • Network Connectivity Issue: Temporary interruption between iPaaS and either system. iPaaS retries with backoff.
  • Chargeback Dispute: Orbital notifies of a chargeback. iPaaS creates case in CRM for dispute resolution team.
