The Challenge

The Challenge of Manual Recurring Payments in Ecommerce

Managing subscription and recurring payments on BigCommerce manually or with disparate tools creates significant operational hurdles, leading to lost revenue, frustrated customers, and inefficient workflows.

  • Manual creation of GoCardless mandates after BigCommerce subscription sales.
  • Disjointed customer data between your ecommerce platform and payment provider.
  • Ineffective or manual processes for handling failed direct debit payments.
  • Time-consuming reconciliation of GoCardless payouts with BigCommerce orders and accounting.
  • Lack of real-time visibility into payment statuses and customer subscription health.
  • Difficulty in processing refunds and returns consistently across systems.

Deep Dive: Integration Process & Data Flow

Our iPaaS-driven integration between GoCardless and BigCommerce is built on an API-first, event-driven architecture. It orchestrates complex workflows, ensuring efficient, accurate, and real-time data synchronization across your critical ecommerce and payment processes.

Data Flow Steps

Connect Systems: Securely establish connections to BigCommerce and GoCardless via their respective APIs using OAuth 2.0 or API tokens within the iPaaS.

Configure Webhooks: Set up BigCommerce webhooks (e.g., `ordercreated`, `customerupdated`) and GoCardless webhooks (e.g., `paymentconfirmed`, `paymentfailed`) to trigger real-time workflows in the iPaaS.

Design Workflows: Use the low-code visual designer to build integration flows. For example, a flow for 'New BigCommerce Subscription Order to GoCardless Mandate/Subscription'.

Map Data: Visually map fields between BigCommerce entities (Order, Customer) and GoCardless entities (Mandate, Subscription, Payment, Customer), applying necessary transformations.

Implement Business Logic: Embed conditional logic for dunning, error handling, or custom payment processing rules.

Test & Deploy: Thoroughly test workflows in a sandbox environment and deploy to production with version control.

Monitor: Continuously monitor integration health, data flow, and error logs through iPaaS dashboards.

Data Touchpoints

BigCommerce Orders (creation, status updates)
BigCommerce Customers (creation, updates)
GoCardless Mandates (creation, status changes)
GoCardless Subscriptions (creation, updates)
GoCardless Payments (initiation, status updates, failures)
GoCardless Refunds (initiation, status updates)
GoCardless Payouts (for reconciliation)

"BigCommerce (Order/Customer Webhooks) → iPaaS (Data Transformation, Workflow Orchestration, AI Validation) ↔ GoCardless (API for Mandate/Subscription/Payment/Refund, Webhooks for Payment Status) ↔ Accounting/CRM (for reconciliation/customer sync)."

Data Mapping

Core Entities & Intelligent Data Mapping

The success of your GoCardless BigCommerce integration hinges on precise and robust data mapping between key entities. Our iPaaS provides visual tools, AI assistance, and flexible transformation capabilities to ensure perfect data alignment.

Customer

Synchronization of customer profiles between BigCommerce and GoCardless for consistent contact and billing information.

GoCardless Fields

[field, id],[description, Unique GoCardless customer ID] [field, given_name],[description, Customer's first name] [field, family_name],[description, Customer's last name] [field, email],[description, Customer's email address] [field, company_name],[description, Customer's company name (if applicable)] [field, address_line1],[description, Customer's street address] [field, postal_code],[description, Customer's postal code] [field, country_code],[description, Customer's country code (e.g., GB, US)]

BigCommerce Fields

[field, id],[description, Unique BigCommerce customer ID] [field, email],[description, Customer's email address] [field, first_name],[description, Customer's first name] [field, last_name],[description, Customer's last name] [field, phone],[description, Customer's phone number] [field, addresses],[description, Array of billing/shipping addresses] [field, company],[description, Customer's company name]

Mapping Notes

BigCommerce `firstname` to GoCardless `givenname`, `lastname` to `familyname`, `email` to `email`. BigCommerce `company` to GoCardless `company_name`. Address fields from BigCommerce's default billing address map to GoCardless customer address. De-duplication is crucial, often using `email` as the primary key.

Automated Subscription Payment Collection

When a customer purchases a subscription product on BigCommerce, this integration automatically creates a GoCardless mandate and subscription, then initiates recurring payment collections.

Integration Steps:

  1. 0 Customer completes BigCommerce checkout for a subscription product.
  2. 1 BigCommerce 'order_created' webhook triggers iPaaS workflow.
  3. 2 iPaaS extracts customer and subscription details from BigCommerce Order.
  4. 3 iPaaS initiates GoCardless Billing Request to securely collect bank details and create Mandate.
  5. 4 Upon successful Mandate creation, iPaaS creates a GoCardless Subscription linked to the BigCommerce order.
  6. 5 GoCardless automatically collects recurring payments based on the subscription schedule.

Business Outcome

Streamlined subscription signup and automated recurring payment collection, reducing manual effort and ensuring timely revenue.
