Technical Documentation

API Endpoints & Data Logic

Technical details for developers and architects.

Method Endpoint Purpose

⚡ Transformation Logic

  • **Currency Conversion:** Automatically apply real-time or stored exchange rates for multi-currency transactions, ensuring accurate posting in Epicor Kinetic's base currency.
  • **Customer Matching/Creation:** Use email address as primary key for customer deduplication. If no match, create new Epicor Kinetic Customer. Harmonize address formats.
  • **Line Item Mapping:** Map PayPal `purchase_units[].items` to Epicor Kinetic Part Numbers, handling quantity, unit price, and discounts.
  • **Fee Allocation:** Automatically create separate GL entries in Epicor Kinetic for PayPal transaction fees, ensuring accurate financial reporting.
  • **Status Synchronization:** Map PayPal transaction statuses (e.g., 'COMPLETED', 'PENDING', 'REFUNDED') to corresponding Epicor Kinetic payment/order statuses.
  • **Custom Field Population:** Populate custom fields in Epicor Kinetic (e.g., 'PayPal Transaction ID', 'PayPal Order ID') for enhanced traceability.

🛡️ Error Handling

  • PayPal API unavailable: iPaaS retries with backoff, alerts if persistent.
  • Epicor Kinetic API returns validation error: iPaaS logs error, places message in dead-letter queue, alerts finance.
  • Duplicate PayPal transaction received: Idempotency keys prevent duplicate posting to Epicor Kinetic.
  • Currency conversion failure: iPaaS alerts, transaction held for manual FX rate input.
  • Customer not found in Epicor Kinetic: iPaaS creates new customer or alerts if strict matching required.

Support & Information

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Challenges & Solutions FAQs

▸ What are the common challenges when integrating PayPal with Epicor Kinetic?
Common challenges include reconciling PayPal's transaction-level data with Epicor Kinetic's ledger structure, managing multi-currency transactions and associated FX rates, handling refunds and chargebacks consistently, and ensuring real-time data flow for order and payment status updates without manual intervention. Our iPaaS solution directly addresses these.

iPaaS Advantages FAQs

▸ How does iPaaS improve Epicor Kinetic-PayPal integration compared to custom code?
iPaaS provides pre-built connectors for both Epicor Kinetic and PayPal, low-code/no-code visual designers for workflow creation, robust error handling, comprehensive monitoring, and scalable infrastructure. This significantly reduces development time, simplifies maintenance, ensures data consistency, and allows business users to participate in workflow design, unlike brittle custom code.

Workflows FAQs

▸ Can I automate refund processing for PayPal transactions directly from Epicor Kinetic?
Absolutely. Our iPaaS can orchestrate a workflow where a refund request initiated in Epicor Kinetic (e.g., a Credit Memo) triggers a call to the PayPal API to process the refund, followed by automated updates to your Epicor Kinetic's general ledger and credit memo status, ensuring complete financial reconciliation.
▸ Can PayPal integrations support recurring billing and subscription models with Epicor Kinetic?
Yes, PayPal offers APIs for managing billing agreements and subscriptions. Our iPaaS can orchestrate the entire subscription lifecycle, from initial signup and payment via PayPal to automated renewals, dunning management for failed payments, and seamless status synchronization with your Epicor Kinetic ERP for accurate revenue recognition and customer management.

Technical FAQs

▸ What is the role of webhooks in Epicor Kinetic-PayPal integrations?
PayPal webhooks provide real-time, event-driven notifications for critical events like 'payment completed' or 'refund issued'. They are crucial for building responsive integrations that react instantly to changes, eliminating the need for constant polling and reducing API overhead. This ensures Epicor Kinetic is updated immediately with the latest payment status.

AI & Automation FAQs

▸ How can AI enhance my Epicor Kinetic-PayPal automation workflows?
AI can augment workflows by providing intelligent fraud detection for PayPal transactions, automating the classification and routing of payment disputes, suggesting optimal data mappings between systems, and even predicting payment trends. This reduces manual effort, improves data quality, and offers predictive insights for Epicor Kinetic users.

Security FAQs

▸ What security considerations are paramount for Epicor Kinetic-PayPal integrations?
Key security considerations include protecting API credentials (Client ID/Secret for PayPal, API keys for Epicor Kinetic), validating PayPal webhook signatures to prevent forgery, adhering to PCI DSS if applicable (minimizing scope by leveraging PayPal's hosted solutions), ensuring data privacy compliance (GDPR, CCPA), and implementing robust authentication (OAuth 2.0) with proper scope management.

Performance FAQs

▸ How do I handle PayPal API rate limits effectively within my Epicor Kinetic integration?
Manage rate limits by implementing queuing mechanisms within the iPaaS, batching requests where possible (e.g., payouts), using asynchronous processing for non-critical tasks, and monitoring API usage. Our iPaaS provides built-in capabilities to manage API quotas and prevent interruptions to your Epicor Kinetic data flow.
