Data Mapping

Data Entity Mapping

Order

Central to both platforms, representing a customer's purchase with line items, pricing, shipping, and payment details.

Ebay Fields

orderId legacyOrderId orderFulfillmentStatus paymentStatus creationDate pricingSummary buyer lineItems shippingServiceSelected

Clarity eCommerce Fields

orderId customerId orderDate status totalAmount currency shippingAddress billingAddress lineItems paymentInfo

Mapping Notes

Map eBay's `orderId` to Clarity eCommerce's `orderId`. `orderFulfillmentStatus` from eBay needs to map to Clarity eCommerce's `status` enum, potentially requiring transformation logic. `pricingSummary` and `lineItems` are critical for financial reconciliation and inventory deduction. Buyer details are often nested in eBay and need to be flattened for Clarity eCommerce `Customer` or `shippingAddress`.

Automated Order-to-Fulfillment Workflow

When a new order is placed on eBay, the iPaaS captures it, creates a corresponding order in Clarity eCommerce, and pushes it to the ERP/WMS for fulfillment. Shipping updates are then synchronized back to eBay.

Integration Steps:

  1. 0 eBay 'New Order' webhook triggers iPaaS
  2. 1 iPaaS transforms eBay 'Order' data to Clarity eCommerce 'Order' schema
  3. 2 Clarity eCommerce 'Order' created via API
  4. 3 Clarity eCommerce pushes order to ERP/WMS (via existing integration)
  5. 4 Fulfillment status and tracking from WMS/ERP updated in Clarity eCommerce
  6. 5 Clarity eCommerce updates eBay 'OrderFulfillmentStatus' and 'Shipment' details via API

Business Outcome

Reduced manual order entry, faster fulfillment times, accurate shipping notifications, improved customer satisfaction.

Real-time, event-driven integrations further ensure that data is synchronized immediately, minimizing discrepancies and conflicts.

Security & Compliance FAQs

▸ What security considerations are important for eBay and Clarity eCommerce integrations?
Key security considerations include secure management of API keys and OAuth tokens (stored in an encrypted secrets manager), encryption of sensitive data (PII) in transit (HTTPS/TLS) and at rest, implementing least privilege access, and ensuring PCI DSS compliance for payment data by tokenizing and avoiding direct storage of sensitive card details. Regular security audits are also crucial.

Error Management FAQs

▸ What are common error handling strategies for eBay and Clarity eCommerce integrations?
Effective error handling includes comprehensive logging of all transactions, automated retry mechanisms with exponential backoff for transient issues (e.g., rate limits), routing persistent failures to a dead-letter queue for manual review, and automated notifications for critical errors. AI can also assist in identifying common error patterns and suggesting resolutions.

iPaaS Capabilities FAQs

▸ Is low-code/no-code suitable for complex eBay and Clarity eCommerce workflows?
Yes, low-code/no-code platforms are increasingly capable of handling complex workflows.
