Robust Integration Architecture

Our integration solution for Sage 200 and Stripe is built on a modern, event-driven iPaaS architecture designed for scalability, resilience, and security. It leverages best practices to ensure seamless, real-time data exchange between your ERP and payment platform.

Data Flow Steps

Event-Driven Architecture: Prioritizing Stripe webhooks over polling for real-time updates.

Canonical Data Model: Transforming data into a standardized format within the iPaaS before sending to target systems.

Idempotent Operations: Designing API calls to be safely retried without side effects.

Circuit Breaker Pattern: To prevent cascading failures during system outages.

Asynchronous Processing: Using message queues for non-critical or high-volume operations.

Centralized Error Handling: A single point for logging, retries, and alerts.

Data Touchpoints

iPaaS Core Engine: Manages workflow orchestration, scheduling, and execution.
Connectors: Pre-built, optimized connectors for Sage 200 and Stripe.
Visual Designer (Low-Code/No-Code): For building and modifying integration workflows.
Data Transformation & Mapping Engine: Supports complex data harmonization and AI-assisted mapping.
Event Listener/Webhook Gateway: Securely receives and verifies Stripe webhooks.
Message Queues: For asynchronous processing, buffering, and ensuring message durability.

Technical Documentation

API Endpoints & Data Logic

Technical details for developers and architects.

Method Endpoint Purpose
GET, POST, PUT /api/v1/customers Retrieve, create, or update customer records for CRM sync, eCommerce order processing, and customer master data management.
GET, POST, PUT /api/v1/salesorders Create new sales orders from eCommerce platforms, retrieve order details for fulfillment, and update order statuses.
GET, PUT /api/v1/stockitems Retrieve product information, update inventory levels across multiple channels, and manage product catalog data.
POST /api/v1/generalledger/journals Post journal entries from payroll systems, expense management, or other financial applications to the General Ledger.
POST, GET /api/v1/payments Record customer payments from payment gateways, retrieve payment details for reconciliation, and manage refunds.
GET, POST /api/v1/invoices Create or retrieve sales invoices. Used for posting Stripe-generated invoices or retrieving for payment status updates.

Transformation Logic

  • Customer Harmonization: Map Sage 200's address fields to Stripe's single address object and vice-versa. Concatenate/split names as needed. Ensure `erpcustomerid` is consistently populated in Stripe `metadata`.
  • Payment Mapping: Convert Stripe's `amount` and `currency` to Sage 200's payment format. Calculate and separate Stripe fees from gross amounts for distinct GL postings.
  • Invoice Line Item Matching: Match Stripe `Invoice.lines.price.product` to Sage 200 `StockItemID` using SKU, name, or custom mapping rules. Handle tax codes appropriately.
  • Date/Time Conversion: Standardize date and time formats between systems to prevent discrepancies.
  • Status Mapping: Map Stripe `PaymentIntent` and `Charge` statuses (e.g., `succeeded`, `failed`, `refunded`) to Sage 200 `Payment` or `Sales Order` statuses.

🛡️ Error Handling

  • Stripe `Charge` fails due to insufficient funds – triggers customer notification and order status update.
  • Sage 200 API is temporarily unavailable – iPaaS retries with exponential backoff; if persistent, routes to dead-letter queue.
  • Mismatched `CustomerID` during payment posting – iPaaS flags error, attempts to find customer by email, or creates new customer if configured.
  • Invalid nominal code in Sage 200 for a journal entry – AI suggests correct code or routes for manual review.
  • Duplicate `PaymentIntent` webhook received – iPaaS handles idempotently, preventing duplicate Sage 200 payments.

Support & Information

Frequently Asked Questions

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

General FAQs

What is the primary benefit of integrating Sage 200 with Stripe?
The primary benefit is automating your entire order-to-cash cycle, from online payments in Stripe to accurate financial record-keeping in Sage 200. This eliminates manual data entry, reduces errors, accelerates cash flow, and streamlines reconciliation, saving significant time and resources for mid-market businesses.

AI Features FAQs

How does AI enhance the Sage 200 Stripe integration?
AI significantly enhances the integration by providing capabilities like intelligent field mapping suggestions, proactive anomaly detection for fraud or errors in transactions, automated data validation, and smart routing for exceptions. This reduces manual intervention, improves data quality, and provides actionable insights.

Workflows FAQs

Can I manage subscriptions and recurring billing through this integration?
Absolutely. The integration leverages Stripe Billing to manage subscriptions and automatically syncs subscription events (new subscriptions, renewals, upgrades, cancellations, invoices) into Sage 200. This ensures accurate recurring revenue recognition and a unified view of customer subscription status.
How does the integration support financial reconciliation in Sage 200?
The integration automates reconciliation by listening for Stripe payout events (`payout.paid`). It then retrieves detailed balance transactions (charges, refunds, fees) and automatically posts a consolidated journal entry or individual payment records to Sage 200's General Ledger, matching bank statements and drastically reducing manual effort.

Performance FAQs

Is this integration suitable for businesses with high transaction volumes?
Yes. Built on a scalable iPaaS, the integration is designed to handle high transaction volumes. It employs intelligent batching, asynchronous processing, message queues, and leverages Stripe's webhooks for real-time, efficient data synchronization, preventing rate limit issues and ensuring stable performance.

Security & Compliance FAQs

How does the integration ensure PCI DSS compliance?
Stripe is PCI DSS Level 1 certified. The integration maintains compliance by ensuring sensitive cardholder data is tokenized client-side using Stripe.js, meaning it never touches your servers. The iPaaS securely handles API keys, encrypts data in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest, and enforces strict access controls and audit trails.

Low-Code/No-Code FAQs

Can I customize the integration workflows without coding?
Yes, our iPaaS features a low-code/no-code visual designer. This drag-and-drop interface allows business users and citizen integrators to easily configure, customize, and extend integration workflows, mapping rules, and business logic without needing extensive coding knowledge, accelerating deployment and reducing IT dependency.

Error Handling FAQs

What happens if a Stripe payment fails or an error occurs during sync?
The integration includes robust error handling. For failed Stripe payments, the system can trigger alerts, notify customers, or update order statuses. For integration errors, it employs automated retries with exponential backoff, routes persistently failing messages to dead-letter queues for investigation, and sends real-time alerts to relevant teams, ensuring no data loss.
