Unify Znode eCommerce & First Data Payments for Seamless Financial Operations
Automate your order-to-cash cycle, enhance payment security, and gain real-time reconciliation insights with a powerful low-code, AI-driven iPaaS.
The Challenge: Disconnected eCommerce Payments & Financial Chaos
Managing payments for your Znode eCommerce platform through First Data often involves a labyrinth of manual processes, siloed data, and operational inefficiencies. This disconnect leads to financial inaccuracies, delayed reconciliation, and a suboptimal customer experience.
-
Manual reconciliation of First Data settlements with Znode orders.
-
Delayed or inaccurate order status updates due to payment processing latency.
-
Lack of real-time visibility into payment authorizations, captures, and refunds.
-
Inefficient handling of chargebacks and refund requests.
-
Increased risk of fraud due to fragmented transaction monitoring.
-
High PCI compliance burden with insecure handling of payment data.

Technical Integration Details
Our iPaaS provides robust, API-first connectivity between Znode and First Data, ensuring secure, scalable, and resilient data exchange across your enterprise.
Data Flow Steps
1. Authentication & Connection: Establish secure connections using Znode's OAuth 2.0 and First Data's OAuth 2.0 or API keys. Store credentials securely in an iPaaS secrets manager.
2. Event Triggering: Configure Znode webhooks for 'Order Created' and 'Order Updated' events. Set up iPaaS to listen for First Data webhooks for 'Transaction Status Change' and 'Chargeback Notifications'.
3. Data Extraction: Extract relevant data from Znode (Order, Customer, Product details) and First Data (Transaction, Settlement Report) using their respective APIs.
4. Data Transformation & Harmonization: Use the iPaaS visual mapping canvas to transform and normalize data schemas (e.g., Znode `TotalAmount` to First Data `amount`, Znode `PaymentStatus` to First Data `status`).
5. Business Logic & Orchestration: Implement conditional logic for payment routing, fraud checks, refund triggers, and reconciliation rules within the iPaaS workflow engine.
6. API Invocation: Call First Data APIs for tokenization, authorization, capture, refund, and settlement retrieval. Call Znode APIs to update order statuses, create payment transactions, or manage customer profiles.
7. Error Handling & Retries: Implement automated retry logic with exponential backoff for transient API errors and configure dead-letter queues for persistent failures.
8. Monitoring & Alerting: Monitor integration health, API performance, and data flow status in real-time via iPaaS dashboards and configure alerts for critical events.
Data Touchpoints
"Znode (Webhooks: Order Created) --> iPaaS (Map Order to Transaction) --> First Data (API: Authorize/Capture/Refund) --> iPaaS (Process Response) --> Znode (API: Update Order Status) --> ERP (API: Post GL Entry / Invoice Payment). Parallel Flow: First Data (Webhooks: Chargeback/Settlement) --> iPaaS (Process & Reconcile) --> Znode/ERP (API: Update Records / Post GL)."

eCommerce Order-to-Payment-to-ERP Sync
Streamline the entire order lifecycle from Znode checkout to payment processing by First Data and subsequent financial posting in your ERP.
Integration Steps:
- 0 1. Customer places order on Znode (trigger).
- 1 2. iPaaS captures Znode order event and sends tokenized payment details to First Data for authorization.
- 2 3. First Data processes authorization, iPaaS updates Znode order `PaymentStatus`.
- 3 4. Upon fulfillment, iPaaS triggers payment capture via First Data.
- 4 5. First Data confirms capture, iPaaS updates Znode `PaymentStatus` and posts payment to ERP invoice.
Business Outcome
Accelerated cash flow, accurate order status updates, reduced manual data entry, and seamless financial reconciliation.

API Endpoints & Data Logic
Technical details for developers and architects.
⚡ Transformation Logic
- Currency Conversion: Ensure consistent currency codes (ISO 4217) and handling of currency conversion rates if Znode supports multi-currency.
- Status Mapping: Bi-directional mapping of payment statuses (e.g., 'Pending', 'Authorized', 'Captured', 'Refunded', 'Declined') between Znode and First Data.
- Address Harmonization: Standardize address formats for AVS checks and customer records.
- Fee Allocation: Apply business rules to allocate First Data processing fees to appropriate GL accounts in the ERP.
- ID Cross-referencing: Map Znode `OrderId` to First Data `merchantReference` or `orderId` for seamless lookup.
🛡️ Error Handling
- Payment Gateway Decline: First Data returns a decline code (e.g., invalid card, insufficient funds). iPaaS updates Znode `PaymentStatus` and notifies customer service.
- API Rate Limit Exceeded: iPaaS intelligently queues requests and retries with exponential backoff.
- Network Interruption: iPaaS utilizes retry mechanisms and ensures message durability to prevent data loss.
- Data Validation Failure: Invalid currency code, missing `orderId`. iPaaS flags the error, logs it, and routes to a dead-letter queue or alerts an operator.
- Reconciliation Mismatch: First Data settlement total doesn't match aggregated Znode sales. iPaaS flags discrepancy, potentially with AI suggesting root cause.
