Data Mapping

Data Entity Mapping

Explore how data flows between systems with intelligent field mapping and transformation logic.

Order

The customer's purchase intent in AspDotNetStoreFront, linked to the financial transaction in PayPal.

PayPal Fields

OrderID OrderNumber CustomerID OrderStatus OrderDate Total ShippingAddressID BillingAddressID PaymentStatus PaymentTransactionID

AspDotNetStoreFront Fields

id (PayPal Order ID) intent status purchase_units payer create_time update_time links capture_id

Mapping Notes

The AspDotNetStoreFront Order is the primary driver. PayPal's 'Order' entity is specifically for initiating the checkout flow and capturing payment. The PayPal 'Payment Transaction' (capture) ID is crucial for linking back to AspDotNetStoreFront's Order for reconciliation.

Real-time eCommerce Order to Payment Capture

Automate the complete lifecycle from a customer placing an order on AspDotNetStoreFront to the payment being processed and captured via PayPal, ensuring immediate order fulfillment initiation and financial record updates.

Integration Steps:

  1. 0 Customer completes checkout on AspDotNetStoreFront.
  2. 1 AspDotNetStoreFront triggers new order event to iPaaS (via webhook or API).
  3. 2 iPaaS captures AspDotNetStoreFront Order details (OrderID, CustomerID, Total, Line Items).
  4. 3 iPaaS initiates PayPal order creation (`/v2/checkout/orders`) and captures payment.
  5. 4 PayPal confirms payment capture (via webhook `CHECKOUT.ORDER.APPROVED` or `PAYMENT.CAPTURE.COMPLETED`).
  6. 5 iPaaS updates AspDotNetStoreFront Order status and Payment Transaction details.
  7. 6 iPaaS creates corresponding Sales Order in ERP (if applicable) with PayPal payment reference.

Business Outcome

Accelerated order processing, reduced manual data entry, immediate financial reconciliation, improved customer experience.

Technical Documentation

API Endpoints & Data Logic

Technical details for developers and architects.

Method Endpoint Purpose
POST /v2/checkout/orders Create a new PayPal order, initiating payment for an AspDotNetStoreFront checkout.
POST /v2/checkout/orders/{id}/capture Capture authorized funds for an AspDotNetStoreFront order.
POST /v2/payments/captures/{id}/refund Process a refund for an AspDotNetStoreFront order's captured payment.
POST /v1/notifications/webhooks Register webhooks to receive real-time PayPal event notifications (e.g., payment capture, refund, dispute) for AspDotNetStoreFront.

Transformation Logic

  • Canonical Data Model: All incoming data from AspDotNetStoreFront and PayPal is first transformed into a unified, system-agnostic canonical data model within the iPaaS, ensuring consistency.
  • Field Mapping: Direct one-to-one, one-to-many, and conditional mappings between AspDotNetStoreFront and PayPal fields (e.g., AspDotNetStoreFront 'Total' to PayPal 'amount.value').
  • Status Code Translation: Convert AspDotNetStoreFront order statuses (e.g., 'Processing', 'Paid') to corresponding PayPal transaction statuses (e.g., 'COMPLETED', 'PENDING').
  • Currency Conversion: Handle multi-currency transactions and ensure proper conversion if required.
  • Address Standardization: Cleanse and standardize billing/shipping addresses for consistency.
  • Line Item Aggregation: Consolidate AspDotNetStoreFront order line items into PayPal's purchase_units structure.

🛡️ Error Handling

  • PayPal API rate limit exceeded (handled with exponential backoff and retries).
  • Payment capture failed due to insufficient funds or card decline (triggers alert, updates AspDotNetStoreFront order status).
  • Refund API call failed (triggers alert, logs to DLQ for manual review).
  • AspDotNetStoreFront API unavailable or slow (triggers alerts, retries with circuit breaker).
  • Data validation errors (e.g., invalid address, missing required fields) during mapping (triggers alerts, routes to DLQ).

How does this integration handle PayPal refunds and disputes from AspDotNetStoreFront?
The integration automates refund processing. When a refund is initiated in AspDotNetStoreFront (or an ERP), the iPaaS triggers the refund in PayPal and updates the order status in AspDotNetStoreFront. For disputes, PayPal webhooks notify the iPaaS in real-time, which can then trigger workflows to alert relevant teams and track resolution within your CRM or ticketing system.

Security FAQs

Is the integration PCI DSS compliant and secure?
Yes, absolutely. PayPal handles the sensitive cardholder data through its secure environment, reducing your PCI scope. The iPaaS ensures all data in transit is encrypted (TLS 1.2+), credentials are securely managed in an encrypted vault, and PayPal webhooks are validated with signatures. We adhere to strict security best practices to maintain overall compliance.

iPaaS Capabilities FAQs

Can I use low-code tools to customize or extend the AspDotNetStoreFront and PayPal integration?
Yes. Our modern iPaaS features a low-code/no-code visual designer that empowers business users and citizen integrators to customize workflows, define new data mappings, and implement conditional logic without writing complex code. This accelerates development and allows your team to adapt integrations quickly.

AI Features FAQs

How does AI enhance the PayPal and AspDotNetStoreFront integration?
AI significantly enhances the integration by providing intelligent data validation for orders and payments, detecting anomalies for potential fraud in real-time, suggesting optimal data mappings, and automating exception handling. This leads to higher data quality, proactive fraud prevention, and reduced manual effort in managing issues.

Data Synchronization FAQs

What data entities are typically synchronized between AspDotNetStoreFront and PayPal?
Key entities synchronized include: AspDotNetStoreFront Orders linked to PayPal Payment Transactions (captures/authorizations), Customer/Payer details (for unified customer profiles), and Refund records. The integration ensures consistency across these critical data points.

Performance FAQs

How does the integration handle API rate limits for PayPal and AspDotNetStoreFront?
Our iPaaS intelligently manages API rate limits for both systems. It employs strategies like intelligent queuing, exponential backoff for retries, and batching (where supported) to ensure high-volume transactions are processed efficiently without hitting rate limits or overwhelming either system. For AspDotNetStoreFront, it also monitors server load.

Technical Details FAQs

What if AspDotNetStoreFront doesn't have robust webhooks out-of-the-box?
While PayPal offers robust webhooks, if your AspDotNetStoreFront version lacks native webhooks, our iPaaS can still integrate effectively. This can involve securely connecting directly to its database via change data capture (CDC), leveraging custom APIs you've built, or employing intelligent scheduled polling to detect new orders or updates, ensuring real-time or near real-time sync.
