Sage 300 & PayTrace: Deep Integration Details

Our iPaaS solution provides a robust, flexible framework for connecting Sage 300 and PayTrace, handling the nuances of both systems' APIs and data structures. We prioritize secure, efficient, and reliable data exchange to power your financial operations.

Data Flow Steps

Connect to Sage 300: Utilize secure on-premise agents or direct API connectors (depending on Sage 300 deployment) with dedicated service accounts for least privilege access.

Connect to PayTrace: Establish secure API connections using encrypted credentials and leverage webhooks for real-time event notifications.

Define Data Flows: Visually design workflows for various scenarios (e.g., payment posting, refund processing, customer sync).

Map Entities & Fields: Use the iPaaS's visual mapping canvas to transform and harmonize data between Sage 300's specific entities (e.g., OE Sales Order, AR Customer, GL Entry) and PayTrace's (e.g., Transaction, Customer Profile).

Implement Business Logic: Apply transformation rules, conditional logic, and data validation steps using low-code tools.

Configure Error Handling: Set up automated retries, dead-letter queues, and alerts for any integration failures.

Deploy & Monitor: Deploy integrations across Dev, QA, and Prod environments with version control, and monitor performance via dashboards.

Data Touchpoints

Sage 300 Customer (ARCU) <-> PayTrace Customer Profile
Sage 300 Sales Order (OESOH) / Invoice <-> PayTrace Order / Invoice (for reference)
PayTrace Transaction (Sale, Auth, Capture, Refund, Void) -> Sage 300 Payment (AR Receipt)
PayTrace Settlement Batch -> Sage 300 General Ledger Entry (GLEntry)
Sage 300 Inventory Item (ICITEM) -> (Indirectly updated by orders linked to payments)
PayTrace Payment Method (Tokenized) -> Sage 300 Customer (for token storage/reference)

"A typical data flow begins with a payment event in PayTrace (e.g., a successful sale). PayTrace sends a webhook notification to the iPaaS. The iPaaS captures this transaction data, transforms it to align with Sage 300's Accounts Receivable (AR) or General Ledger (GL) schema, and then securely posts it as a Payment (AR Receipt) and/or GL Entry in Sage 300. Concurrently, customer profile updates or tokenized payment methods might flow bidirectionally between Sage 300 Customer records and PayTrace Customer Profiles. For order-to-cash, Sales Orders created in Sage 300 (or from an eCommerce system synced to Sage 300) are linked to PayTrace transactions. Settlement batches from PayTrace are reconciled with Sage 300's cash accounts via GL entries."

Integration Steps:

  1. 0 Customer places order and pays on eCommerce.
  2. 1 Payment processed by PayTrace, generating a 'Transaction' and 'Order / Invoice' record.
  3. 2 PayTrace webhook notifies iPaaS of successful payment.
  4. 3 iPaaS creates 'Customer' (if new) and 'Sales Order' in Sage 300 via `/OE/OESOH` endpoint.
  5. 4 iPaaS creates 'Payment' (AR Receipt) in Sage 300, applying it to the new Sales Order/Invoice.
  6. 5 Inventory levels updated in Sage 300 (`/IC/ICITEM`).
  7. 6 Order status updated in eCommerce platform.

Business Outcome

Real-time order processing, accurate inventory, accelerated revenue recognition, and a seamless customer journey.
