The Challenge

The Disconnect: Manual Payments & ERP Data Silos

Without a robust integration, managing payments with AuthorizeNet and financial records in Epicor Kinetic leads to significant operational inefficiencies, data discrepancies, and compliance risks.

  • Manual data entry of AuthorizeNet transactions into Epicor Kinetic, leading to errors and delays.
  • Time-consuming daily reconciliation of payment batches with ERP General Ledger.
  • Lack of real-time visibility into payment statuses affecting order fulfillment and cash flow.
  • Inconsistent customer payment data across systems, hindering repeat purchases and subscription management.
  • Increased risk of PCI DSS non-compliance due to fragmented data handling.
  • Delayed fraud detection and response due to disconnected alerts.

Deep Dive into Epicor Kinetic & AuthorizeNet Integration Architecture

Our iPaaS provides a robust, scalable architecture for integrating Epicor Kinetic and AuthorizeNet, ensuring secure, real-time, and reliable data exchange.

Data Flow Steps

**Connectors & Authentication:** Securely establish connections to Epicor Kinetic via its REST/SOAP APIs and to AuthorizeNet using API Login ID, Transaction Key, and Signature Key.

**Event Triggers:** Configure webhooks in AuthorizeNet to push real-time transaction, fraud, and settlement events to the iPaaS. Implement polling or Epicor Kinetic webhooks for ERP-initiated events.

**Data Ingestion & Transformation:** The iPaaS ingests data from both systems. A visual mapping canvas allows for drag-and-drop field mapping and complex data transformations (e.g., normalizing currency formats, combining customer addresses).

**Business Logic & Orchestration:** Define workflow rules, conditional logic, and routing within the iPaaS. For example, if an AuthorizeNet transaction is 'Approved', create a 'Cash Receipt' in Epicor Kinetic; if 'Declined', update the 'Order Status'.

**Error Handling & Reconciliation:** Implement robust error handling with intelligent retries, dead-letter queues, and automated alerts. Daily reconciliation flows match AuthorizeNet settlements to Epicor Kinetic GL entries.

**Data Synchronization:** Orchestrate bi-directional syncs for entities like Customer Profiles (CIM) and one-way syncs for transactions (AuthorizeNet to Epicor Kinetic) and refunds (Epicor Kinetic to AuthorizeNet).

**Monitoring & Governance:** Centralized dashboards provide real-time visibility into integration health, performance, and API usage, with audit trails for compliance.

Data Touchpoints

**AuthorizeNet:** Transaction, Customer Profile (CIM), Payment Profile (CIM), Subscription (ARB), Refund, Void, Settlement Batch, Fraud Event.
**Epicor Kinetic:** Sales Order, Customer, Invoice, Cash Receipt, General Ledger, Inventory, Service Call (for fraud cases).

"The integration architecture features a central iPaaS layer connecting Epicor Kinetic and AuthorizeNet. AuthorizeNet sends real-time event notifications (transactions, fraud, settlements) to the iPaaS via webhooks. The iPaaS processes these events, transforming and mapping data, and then pushes relevant updates (orders, cash receipts, GL entries) to Epicor Kinetic via its APIs. Conversely, Epicor Kinetic initiates actions (refunds, customer updates) which the iPaaS captures and sends to AuthorizeNet. Scheduled jobs handle daily settlement reconciliation."

  • **Field Concatenation/Splitting:** Combine or split data fields (e.g., first name + last name) to match target system schemas.
  • **Idempotency Keys:** Include unique keys in all transaction requests to AuthorizeNet to prevent duplicate processing during retries.

🛡️ Error Handling

  • **Payment Gateway Decline:** iPaaS updates Epicor Kinetic order status to 'Payment Declined', triggers customer notification.
  • **Epicor Kinetic API Failure:** iPaaS logs error, initiates retry with exponential backoff, alerts IT if persistent.
  • **Duplicate Transaction:** Idempotency key prevents duplicate processing; iPaaS logs and reconciles.
  • **Data Format Mismatch:** AI-assisted transformation attempts correction; if failed, flags for manual review.

Support & Information

Frequently Asked Questions

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

General Integration FAQs

▸ How does iPaaS enhance AuthorizeNet's core functionality with Epicor Kinetic?
iPaaS platforms transform AuthorizeNet from a standalone payment gateway into a fully integrated, automated financial hub for Epicor Kinetic. They provide connectors for diverse systems, enable real-time data orchestration, automate complex workflows like reconciliation and fraud detection, and offer low-code tools for rapid integration development, vastly expanding AuthorizeNet's utility within your ERP ecosystem.

Security & Compliance FAQs

▸ Is Epicor Kinetic and AuthorizeNet integration PCI DSS compliant with iPaaS?
Yes, when implemented correctly. Modern iPaaS platforms are designed with security in mind. By leveraging AuthorizeNet's Customer Information Manager (CIM) for tokenization and adhering to best practices for secure credential management, data encryption, and access control within the iPaaS, you can maintain full PCI DSS compliance, ensuring raw card data never touches your Epicor Kinetic system.

Low-Code/No-Code FAQs

▸ Can I use low-code tools to build Epicor Kinetic and AuthorizeNet workflows?
Absolutely. Modern iPaaS platforms offer robust low-code/no-code environments, allowing business analysts and citizen integrators to visually design, deploy, and manage complex AuthorizeNet workflows for tasks like order processing, recurring billing, and refund management with Epicor Kinetic, all without writing extensive code.

AI Enhancements FAQs

▸ What is the role of AI in Epicor Kinetic and AuthorizeNet integrations?
AI can significantly augment Epicor Kinetic and AuthorizeNet integrations by providing intelligent capabilities such as enhanced fraud detection and anomaly scoring, automated reconciliation by identifying discrepancies, smart routing of payment exceptions, and even suggesting optimal data mappings for new integrations, leading to higher accuracy and efficiency in your ERP.

Performance FAQs

▸ How do I handle AuthorizeNet API rate limits in my integration with Epicor Kinetic?
Manage rate limits by adopting an event-driven architecture (using webhooks), implementing intelligent queuing for non-critical requests, batching data for reporting, and using retry mechanisms with exponential backoff. Your iPaaS should provide tools for monitoring API usage and managing throughput, ensuring smooth operation with both AuthorizeNet and Epicor Kinetic.

Financial Operations FAQs

▸ How can I automate AuthorizeNet payment reconciliation with my Epicor Kinetic ERP?
An iPaaS can automate this by scheduling daily jobs to retrieve AuthorizeNet settlement batch reports, transform the data to match your Epicor Kinetic's General Ledger structure, and then automatically post journal entries. AI can further enhance this by flagging discrepancies or anomalies for investigation, eliminating manual reconciliation efforts.

Key Features FAQs

▸ What are AuthorizeNet's Customer Information Manager (CIM) and Automated Recurring Billing (ARB) and how do they integrate with Epicor Kinetic?
CIM securely stores customer payment profiles (tokenized credit card/bank account data) for repeat transactions without re-entering details. ARB is a service for managing recurring subscription payments using these stored profiles. Both are critical for efficient eCommerce and subscription businesses. Via iPaaS, CIM profiles can be synced with Epicor Kinetic customer records, and ARB subscription payments can automatically generate invoices and cash receipts in Epicor Kinetic.

Error Handling FAQs

▸ What are common error handling strategies for Epicor Kinetic and AuthorizeNet integrations?
Implement comprehensive logging of all transaction responses, specific retry logic for transient errors, automated notifications for critical failures, dead-letter queues for unresolvable issues, and escalation paths for human intervention. AI can assist in classifying errors and suggesting resolutions, ensuring data integrity and minimizing downtime for your Epicor Kinetic operations.
