Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about integration implementation, security, and best practices.

General FAQs

What is Cybersource and how does it fit into my Epicor E9 ecosystem?
Cybersource, a Visa solution, is a global payment management platform offering payment gateway, fraud management, and payment security services. In an Epicor E9 ecosystem, it acts as the secure conduit for processing all digital payments. The integration ensures that payments processed via Cybersource are accurately reflected as cash receipts, sales orders, or journal entries within Epicor E9 for comprehensive financial management.

iPaaS Benefits FAQs

Why should I integrate Cybersource with Epicor E9 using an iPaaS instead of custom code?
An iPaaS provides a scalable, low-code/no-code environment for connecting Cybersource to Epicor E9. It offers pre-built connectors, robust data mapping, error handling, and monitoring, significantly reducing development time, maintenance costs, and technical debt compared to custom-coded point-to-point integrations. It centralizes orchestration, governance, and ensures future-proof adaptability.

Fraud Management FAQs

How does iPaaS enhance Cybersource's fraud management capabilities for Epicor E9 users?
iPaaS can ingest real-time fraud decisions from Cybersource Decision Manager via webhooks. It can then orchestrate automated responses across systems – such as holding an order in Epicor E9, creating a review task in a CRM, notifying a fraud analyst via Slack, or even triggering an AI model for further risk assessment, creating a more dynamic and efficient fraud workflow that directly impacts Epicor E9 order fulfillment.

Security & Compliance FAQs

Is Cybersource integration with Epicor E9 PCI DSS compliant when using an iPaaS?
Yes, when implemented correctly. The key is to ensure that your iPaaS and Epicor E9 never store or process raw cardholder data. By leveraging Cybersource's tokenization services (e.g., Secure Acceptance, Token Management Service), your iPaaS only handles secure tokens, keeping sensitive data out of your environment and significantly reducing your PCI DSS scope for both Epicor E9 and the iPaaS.

Financial Reconciliation FAQs

Can I automate payment reconciliation between Cybersource and Epicor E9's General Ledger with iPaaS?
Absolutely. iPaaS can be configured to automatically download daily settlement reports from Cybersource, parse the data (gross sales, refunds, fees, chargebacks), harmonize it with Epicor E9's chart of accounts, and then create corresponding journal entries or payment batches in Epicor E9's General Ledger, dramatically speeding up financial close and reducing manual effort.

Data Mapping FAQs

What kind of data transformation is typically needed for Cybersource to Epicor E9 integrations?
Data transformation often involves mapping eCommerce order fields to Cybersource payment request fields, converting currency formats, harmonizing customer addresses for Epicor E9, and crucially, transforming Cybersource settlement data (gross sales, refunds, fees) into Epicor E9-specific journal entry formats, ensuring debits equal credits. iPaaS mapping engines are essential for these complex tasks.

Performance FAQs

How do I handle Cybersource API rate limits in my integration with Epicor E9?
iPaaS platforms provide features like intelligent queuing, batching for non-real-time operations, and robust retry mechanisms with exponential backoff. For high-volume scenarios, implementing asynchronous workflows and distributing requests can help manage and stay within Cybersource's API rate limits, ensuring uninterrupted service and smooth data flow to Epicor E9.

AI Enhancements FAQs

Can AI help with Epicor E9 and Cybersource data mapping and validation?
Yes, AI can significantly augment data mapping by suggesting optimal field mappings between Epicor E9 and Cybersource based on historical data patterns. For validation, AI can detect anomalies in transaction data, flag potentially incorrect amounts or customer details before they are sent to Cybersource or posted to Epicor E9, improving data quality and reducing errors.
