Payment Transaction / Zoho Payment

Synchronizing financial interactions from Payeezy to Zoho Books for accurate revenue recognition and reconciliation.

Payeezy Fields

transactionId transactionType amount currency transactionStatus orderId cardType last4Digits token

Zoho Fields

Payment Number Customer Name Payment Date Amount Received Payment Mode Reference Number Invoice IDs Payment Status

Mapping Notes

Payeezy's `transactionId` maps to Zoho Payment `Reference Number`. `transactionType` (e.g., 'Capture') dictates Zoho Payment `Payment Mode` or `Payment Status`. `amount` and `currency` are direct mappings. `orderId` is used to link to the corresponding Zoho Invoice and Sales Order.

Technical Documentation

API Endpoints & Data Logic

Technical details for developers and architects.

Method Endpoint Purpose

Transformation Logic

  • Date/Time Formatting: Convert Payeezy's date/time formats to Zoho's preferred `yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss` format.
  • Status Mapping: Map Payeezy `transactionStatus` (e.g., 'Approved', 'Declined', 'Refunded') to corresponding Zoho Sales Order `Status`, Zoho Invoice `Status`, or Zoho Payment `Payment Status`.
  • Currency Conversion: If operating with multiple currencies, apply real-time or scheduled currency conversion rates using an external service or configured rates in Zoho Books.
  • Address Standardization: Normalize billing/shipping addresses from Payeezy to conform to Zoho's address fields and formats.
  • Deduplication Logic: Implement rules to prevent duplicate Zoho Contacts or Accounts based on email or unique identifiers.
  • Line Item Aggregation: Ensure individual `items` from the original order (if available) are correctly mapped to Zoho Sales Order/Invoice `Item Lines`, including quantities, prices, and taxes.
  • Fee Allocation: Break down Payeezy `totalFees` from settlement reports into specific `Journal Entries` for different expense accounts in Zoho Books.

🛡️ Error Handling

  • Payeezy transaction fails due to invalid card details: iPaaS updates Zoho Sales Order to 'Payment Failed', sends customer notification.
  • Zoho Books API returns 'duplicate invoice number': iPaaS logs error, attempts to update existing invoice or routes to dead-letter queue.
  • Payeezy webhook delivery fails: iPaaS retries delivery with exponential backoff; after max retries, logs to dead-letter queue.
  • Data type mismatch during mapping (e.g., string to number): iPaaS transformation rules catch and correct or flag as error.
  • Zoho CRM rate limit exceeded: iPaaS intelligently queues subsequent requests and retries with backoff.

Support & Information

Frequently Asked Questions

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

General FAQs

Why should I integrate Payeezy with Zoho?
Integrating Payeezy with Zoho automates your entire financial workflow, from payment capture to reconciliation and customer updates. It eliminates manual data entry, reduces errors, accelerates cash flow, provides real-time insights into payment statuses, and enhances your customer's experience by streamlining transactions across sales, finance, and CRM.

Financial Operations FAQs

How does this integration handle payment reconciliation in Zoho Books?
The integration automates daily settlement reconciliation. The iPaaS retrieves Payeezy's daily settlement reports, parses transaction totals, fees, and net amounts, and automatically creates corresponding Journal Entries in Zoho Books. This accurately reconciles your bank account and payment gateway clearing accounts, drastically reducing manual accounting efforts.
How does the integration handle refunds and chargebacks?
Refunds are automated: when a credit note is created in Zoho Books (e.g., for a return), the iPaaS triggers a refund request to Payeezy using the original transaction ID. Payeezy's webhook then updates the Zoho credit note status. For chargebacks, Payeezy notifications trigger immediate alerts in Zoho Desk and update order statuses, enabling prompt action and dispute management.

Security FAQs

Is the integration secure and PCI DSS compliant?
Absolutely. Security is paramount. The integration leverages Payeezy's secure tokenization services, ensuring sensitive cardholder data is never stored on your internal systems, thus maintaining PCI DSS compliance. All data in transit is encrypted with TLS 1.2+, and Zoho APIs are accessed via secure OAuth 2.0 with the principle of least privilege.

Workflows FAQs

Can this integration support subscription billing and recurring payments?
Yes. The integration utilizes Payeezy's tokenization capabilities. When a customer makes an initial payment, Payeezy securely tokenizes their card. This token is stored (referenced) in Zoho, allowing the iPaaS to initiate automated recurring charges via Payeezy's API for subscription renewals, seamlessly updating Zoho Books for recurring invoices and payments.

Technical FAQs

How does the iPaaS manage API rate limits for Payeezy and Zoho?
The iPaaS is designed with intelligent rate limit management. It employs queuing mechanisms for outgoing requests, implements exponential backoff for retries on rate limit errors, and utilizes strategic batching for non-real-time operations. Prioritizing webhooks over polling also significantly reduces API call volume, ensuring continuous operation without hitting limits.

AI Enhancements FAQs

What role does AI play in enhancing this integration?
AI significantly augments the integration by providing intelligent field mapping suggestions, detecting anomalies in transaction data for fraud prevention, validating invoice details against payments, and suggesting resolutions for common errors. AI also helps automate exception handling and provides predictive insights for financial operations.

Customization FAQs

Can I customize the integration to fit my unique business rules?
Absolutely. The iPaaS offers a low-code/no-code visual designer that allows you to easily customize data mappings, add conditional logic, implement custom business rules (e.g., for routing payments or approvals), and extend workflows. You can also map custom fields from Payeezy to Zoho and vice-versa, ensuring the integration perfectly aligns with your specific operational needs.
