Deep Dive: Cybersource & WooCommerce Integration Architecture

Our integration leverages an API-first, event-driven architecture, orchestrated by a robust iPaaS platform. This ensures real-time data flow, maximum security, and unparalleled scalability between WooCommerce and Cybersource. The iPaaS acts as the intelligent middleware, handling data mapping, transformations, error handling, and business logic.

Data Flow Steps

Connectors & Authentication: Securely establish connections to WooCommerce (API Keys, OAuth) and Cybersource (API Keys, Request Signing) via iPaaS credential vaults.

Event Triggers (Webhooks): Configure WooCommerce webhooks (e.g., `order.created`, `order.updated`, `refund.created`) to notify the iPaaS in real-time.

Workflow Design (Low-Code): Visually design integration flows in the iPaaS, defining the sequence of actions, data transformations, and conditional logic.

Data Mapping & Transformation: Map relevant WooCommerce entities (`Order`, `Customer`, `Refund`) to Cybersource entities (`Payment Transaction`, `Payment Token`, `Fraud Case`) using the iPaaS's visual mapping canvas.

API Calls & Orchestration: The iPaaS makes controlled API calls to Cybersource endpoints for payment processing, fraud checks, and tokenization, and updates WooCommerce via its API.

Error Handling & Monitoring: Implement robust error handling (retries, dead-letter queues, alerts) and configure real-time monitoring dashboards within the iPaaS.

Deployment & Governance: Promote tested integration flows from Dev/QA to Production environments with version control and audit trails.

Data Touchpoints

WooCommerce Orders: `id`, `status`, `total`, `billing`, `shipping`, `lineitems`, `customerid`, `paymentmethod`, `transactionid` (from Cybersource).
Cybersource Payment Transactions: `transactionId`, `amount`, `currency`, `status`, `authorizationCode`, `paymentMethod`, `merchantReferenceCode`, `cardType`, `cardLast4`.
WooCommerce Customers: `id`, `email`, `firstname`, `lastname`, `billing`, `shipping`.
Cybersource Customer Profile: `customerId`, `firstName`, `lastName`, `email`, `billingAddress`, `shippingAddress`, `cybersourceCustomerId`.
WooCommerce Refunds: `id`, `amount`, `reason`, `order_id`.
Cybersource Refunds: `refundId`, `originalTransactionId`, `amount`, `currency`, `status`.
Cybersource Fraud Cases: `caseId`, `transactionId`, `fraudScore`, `riskDecision`, `reasonCodes`.

"WooCommerce (Order Created Webhook) --> iPaaS (Orchestration, Mapping, Logic) --> Cybersource (Payment API, Decision Manager, Tokenization) --> iPaaS (Status Update, Reconciliation) --> WooCommerce (Order Status Update) / ERP (Sales Order, Payment Record) / CRM (Fraud Case, Customer Profile)"

Data Mapping

Core Data Entities & Harmonized Mapping for Cybersource & WooCommerce

Seamless integration requires precise mapping of key entities between WooCommerce and Cybersource. Our iPaaS provides visual tools and AI assistance to ensure accurate, consistent data flow, abstracting the complexities of different data models.

Order / Payment Transaction

The central entity representing a customer's purchase in WooCommerce and the corresponding payment event processed by Cybersource. This mapping is crucial for sales, fulfillment, and financial reconciliation.

Cybersource Fields

`transactionId` (from Cybersource) `amount` `currency` `status` (e.g., `authorized`, `captured`, `refunded`, `declined`) `authorizationCode` `paymentMethod` `merchantReferenceCode` `cardType` `cardLast4`

WooCommerce Fields

`id` (WooCommerce Order ID) `status` (e.g., `pending`, `processing`, `completed`, `refunded`) `currency` `total` `billing.first_name` `billing.last_name` `billing.email` `payment_method` `transaction_id` (WooCommerce's internal transaction ID, populated by iPaaS with Cybersource's `transactionId`)

Mapping Notes

The WooCommerce `order.id` maps to Cybersource `merchantReferenceCode` for traceability. Cybersource `transactionId` is stored in WooCommerce `transaction_id`. WooCommerce `status` needs transformation to Cybersource's payment lifecycle states. Line items are mapped to Cybersource's request for detailed transaction data for fraud analysis.

WooCommerce Order to Cybersource Payment & ERP Sync

A customer places an order on your WooCommerce store. The iPaaS captures the order, initiates a secure payment with Cybersource, and then synchronizes all relevant details (order status, payment ID, customer info) with your ERP system for fulfillment and accounting.

Integration Steps:

  1. 0 Customer completes checkout on WooCommerce.
  2. 1 WooCommerce 'Order Created' webhook triggers iPaaS.
  3. 2 iPaaS maps WooCommerce `Order` data to Cybersource `Payment Transaction` request.
  4. 3 iPaaS calls Cybersource `/pts/v2/payments` endpoint for authorization/capture.
  5. 4 Cybersource processes payment and returns status.
  6. 5 iPaaS updates WooCommerce `Order` status and stores Cybersource `transactionId`.
  7. 6 iPaaS maps `Order` and `Payment Transaction` to ERP `Sales Order` and `Payment Record`.
  8. 7 iPaaS pushes data to ERP for fulfillment and financial accounting.

Business Outcome

Real-time order processing, accurate financial records, reduced manual data entry, and faster order fulfillment.

Technical Documentation

API Endpoints & Data Logic

Technical details for developers and architects.

Method Endpoint Purpose
POST /pts/v2/payments Initiate payment authorization or capture for a WooCommerce order, including card details or payment tokens.
POST /pts/v2/payments/{id}/captures Capture a previously authorized payment for a WooCommerce order.
POST /pts/v2/payments/{id}/refunds Process a full or partial refund for a captured WooCommerce payment.
POST /tss/v2/tokens Securely tokenize sensitive payment card data from WooCommerce for future use (one-click, recurring).
POST /microform/v2/sessions Initiate a Microform session for secure client-side collection of payment data from WooCommerce checkout.
POST /dm/v2/decisions Submit WooCommerce transaction data for fraud screening via Decision Manager and receive a real-time fraud decision.

⚡ Transformation Logic

  • Status Mapping: WooCommerce order statuses (`pending`, `processing`, `completed`) are mapped to Cybersource payment states (`authorized`, `captured`, `settled`).
  • Currency Conversion: If multi-currency is enabled, iPaaS can apply real-time currency conversion rates (e.g., from an external FX service) before sending to Cybersource.
  • Address Harmonization: Standardize billing and shipping address formats for consistency between WooCommerce, Cybersource, and any downstream ERP/CRM.
  • Data Enrichment: Enrich Cybersource fraud requests with additional customer history or order metadata from CRM/ERP via iPaaS lookup.
  • Token Management: Intercept raw card data, send to Cybersource for tokenization, and store the resulting `Payment Token` securely (not in WooCommerce).

🛡️ Error Handling

  • Payment Decline: Cybersource returns `declined` status. iPaaS updates WooCommerce order, notifies customer, potentially triggers retry logic.
  • API Rate Limit Exceeded: iPaaS queues requests, implements exponential backoff, and alerts operations.
  • Network Timeout: iPaaS retries the API call. If persistent, logs error and triggers alert.
  • Invalid Data Format: iPaaS logs error, quarantines message to dead-letter queue, and alerts for manual review/correction.
  • Fraud Decision - Review: iPaaS creates `Fraud Case` in CRM, places WooCommerce order `On Hold`.
