Transformation Logic

  • Status Harmonization: Map diverse gateway transaction statuses (e.g., 'Approved', 'Settled', 'Captured', 'Complete') to a unified 'Payment Status' in your ERP/CRM.
  • Customer ID Linking: Link `CustomerVaultID` (PayTrace) and `tokenId` (Opayo) to your internal `CustomerID` for a single customer view.
  • Amount Normalization: Ensure `Amount` fields are consistently formatted (e.g., two decimal places, correct currency symbol).
  • Vendor Tx Code Mapping: Map eCommerce `OrderID` or ERP `InvoiceID` to `vendorTxCode` (Opayo) or a custom reference field (PayTrace) for traceability.
  • Date/Time Standardization: Convert all date and time formats to a consistent UTC standard.
  • Error Code Translation: Translate gateway-specific error codes into standardized, actionable messages for internal teams.

🛡️ Error Handling

  • Transient API Errors: Handled by automated retries with exponential backoff.
  • Invalid Data Format: Data validation rules prevent malformed data from reaching target systems; flagged for correction.
  • Duplicate Transactions: Idempotent design and deduplication logic prevent processing the same transaction multiple times.
  • Gateway Downtime: Circuit breakers prevent overwhelming a down gateway, while messages are queued for later processing.
  • Authorization Failures: Immediate alerts to customer service for follow-up with the customer.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

General Integration FAQs

Why should I integrate PayTrace and Sage Pay (Opayo) if I already use both?
Integrating both gateways via an iPaaS centralizes all your payment data and automates workflows across both. This eliminates manual data entry, streamlines reconciliation, ensures consistent PCI compliance, and provides a unified view for reporting and fraud detection, even if customers pay through different channels or preferences.

Security & Compliance FAQs

How does this integration ensure PCI DSS compliance?
The integration prioritizes PCI DSS compliance by leveraging the tokenization capabilities of both PayTrace (Customer Vault) and Sage Pay (Opayo). Your internal systems only store non-sensitive payment tokens, never raw cardholder data. All communication is encrypted (TLS 1.2+), and API keys are securely managed in a vault, significantly reducing your compliance scope.

Workflows FAQs

Can I automate refund and chargeback processes across both gateways?
Absolutely. Our iPaaS can detect which gateway processed the original transaction and then automatically initiate the refund via the correct PayTrace or Opayo API. For chargebacks, webhooks from both gateways trigger automated case creation in your dispute management system, pulling relevant order and customer data for evidence collection.
