Cybersource Infor Integration: Unify Payments, ERP & Fraud Prevention

Streamline your Order-to-Cash process, automate financial reconciliation, and enhance security with real-time Cybersource and Infor synchronization via a modern iPaaS.

The Challenge

Disconnected Payments & ERP Lead to Financial Bottlenecks

Without a robust integration between your payment gateway and ERP, critical financial operations become fragmented, manual, and prone to error. This fragmentation directly impacts your bottom line and operational efficiency.

  • Manual reconciliation of Cybersource payments with Infor invoices and ledger entries.
  • Delayed or inaccurate financial reporting due to stale payment data.
  • Increased risk of fraud and chargebacks without real-time fraud decisioning in Infor.
  • Inconsistent customer data across payment systems and ERP, hindering a 360-degree view.
  • Compliance challenges (PCI DSS) due to fragmented payment data handling.
  • Inefficient refund and chargeback dispute processes requiring manual intervention.
  • Lack of real-time inventory updates linked to payment status, leading to overselling or fulfillment delays.

Cybersource & Infor Integration: Architecture & Data Flow

Our integration platform provides a robust, API-first, and event-driven architecture to connect Cybersource and Infor. It ensures secure, real-time data exchange, enabling automated workflows and a unified view of your financial operations.

Data Flow Steps

Secure API Connectivity: Establish secure connections to Cybersource's RESTful APIs and Infor's APIs (e.g., Infor OS, ION, M3) using OAuth 2.0 or API key/signature authentication, managed via an iPaaS credential vault.

Event-Driven Triggers: Configure Cybersource webhooks for real-time notifications (e.g., `payment authorized`, `fraud decision`, `refund processed`) to instantly trigger Infor workflows.

Data Ingestion & Transformation: The iPaaS ingests raw data, applies canonical data model mapping, and transforms payloads to match target system schemas (e.g., Cybersource `Payment Transaction` fields to Infor `Payment Transaction` fields).

Workflow Orchestration: Define complex business logic using low-code visual designers to orchestrate multi-step processes, such as creating an Infor `Sales Order` after a successful Cybersource payment.

Error Handling & Retries: Implement intelligent retry mechanisms with exponential backoff for transient API failures and dead-letter queues for unrecoverable errors, ensuring data eventual consistency.

Data Synchronization: Facilitate bidirectional sync for entities like `Customer` and `Order Status`, and unidirectional sync for `Payment Transaction` (Cybersource to Infor) and `Refund` (Infor to Cybersource).

Monitoring & Alerting: Centralized dashboards provide real-time visibility into integration health, transaction volumes, error rates, with proactive alerts for critical issues.

Data Touchpoints

Cybersource -> Infor: Payment Transactions (Authorizations, Captures, Refunds), Fraud Cases, Settlement Reports, Payment Tokens (for storage in Infor's customer profile).
Infor -> Cybersource: Refund requests, Auth Reversal requests, Customer Profile updates (for billing address changes impacting fraud checks).
Infor <-> Infor: Customer, Sales Order, Product, Inventory Item, Invoice, Payment Transaction, General Ledger Account.

"A conceptual flow diagram would show: eCommerce/CRM -> iPaaS -> Cybersource (Payment, Fraud) -> iPaaS -> Infor (Sales Order, Invoice, Customer, GL). Webhooks from Cybersource feed back to iPaaS for status updates and fraud alerts, which then update Infor. Settlement reports flow from Cybersource, through iPaaS, to Infor GL."

Data Mapping

Key Entities & Intelligent Mapping for Cybersource & Infor

Seamless data flow between Cybersource and Infor relies on precise mapping of critical entities. Our iPaaS provides AI-assisted tools to streamline this process, ensuring data integrity and consistency across your payment and ERP systems.

Payment Transaction

Represents a single payment event. Cybersource processes it, Infor records it against an invoice or GL.

Cybersource Fields

transactionId amount currency status authorizationCode paymentMethod merchantReferenceCode cardType cardLast4 riskDecision reasonCodes

Infor Fields

TransactionID InvoiceID PaymentDate PaymentMethod Amount Currency ProcessorReference Status CustomerID GLAccount

Mapping Notes

Cybersource's `transactionId` maps to Infor's `ProcessorReference`. Cybersource `amount` and `currency` map directly. `Status` requires transformation from Cybersource values (e.g., 'settled', 'declined') to Infor's payment statuses. `merchantReferenceCode` often aligns with Infor's `OrderID` or `InvoiceID` for linkage.
