Unify Payments & Accounting: Seamless Sage Intacct Cybersource Integration

Automate financial reconciliation, streamline payment processing, and enhance fraud prevention with a powerful, low-code iPaaS solution.

The Challenge

The Disconnect: Manual Payments & Fragmented Financials

Modern businesses face immense pressure to process payments efficiently and accurately while combating fraud. Without a robust integration, connecting Cybersource's payment power with Sage Intacct's financial rigor becomes a manual, error-prone, and risky endeavor.

  • Manual reconciliation of Cybersource settlements with Sage Intacct General Ledger.
  • Delayed or inaccurate revenue recognition due to payment data silos.
  • Increased risk of fraud and chargebacks without automated responses.
  • High PCI DSS compliance burden when handling sensitive payment data internally.
  • Inefficient refund and dispute management processes.
  • Lack of real-time visibility into payment status and financial health.

Deep Dive into Integration Details

This integration is meticulously engineered to ensure robust, secure, and efficient data exchange between Cybersource and Sage Intacct, leveraging best practices for enterprise-grade connectivity.

Data Flow Steps

**System Connection:** Establish secure API connections for both Sage Intacct and Cybersource within the iPaaS, configuring authentication credentials (HTTP Signature for Cybersource, API keys for Sage Intacct).

**Webhook Configuration:** Set up Cybersource webhooks to push real-time events (payment success, refund, fraud decision) to dedicated iPaaS endpoints.

**Data Ingestion:** The iPaaS listens for Cybersource webhooks or initiates scheduled API calls to retrieve settlement reports and other bulk data.

**Data Transformation & Mapping:** Utilize the iPaaS's visual mapper to transform Cybersource data schemas into Sage Intacct's required input formats, including complex object structures and custom fields. AI assists in suggesting optimal mappings.

**Business Logic & Validation:** Implement conditional logic, lookup tables, and data validation rules within the iPaaS to ensure data integrity before posting to Sage Intacct.

**Error Handling & Retries:** Configure intelligent retry mechanisms for transient API errors and define specific workflows for persistent errors (e.g., dead-letter queues, alerts).

**Posting to Sage Intacct:** The iPaaS makes API calls to Sage Intacct endpoints (e.g., AR Payment, Journal Entry, Sales Invoice) to create or update financial records.

**Status Updates & Notifications:** Update statuses in Sage Intacct based on Cybersource outcomes and send notifications to relevant stakeholders (e.g., fraud alerts, reconciliation summaries).

Data Touchpoints

Cybersource: Payment Transaction, Authorization, Capture, Refund, Settlement Batch, Fraud Case, Customer Profile (Token)
Sage Intacct: AR Payment, Sales Invoice, Credit Memo, Journal Entry, Customer, Sales Order

"The integration flow diagram illustrates an iPaaS as the central hub. On one side, Cybersource acts as the source for payment events (via webhooks) and settlement data (via scheduled API calls). On the other, Sage Intacct is the destination for AR Payments, Credit Memos, Sales Orders, and General Ledger entries. eCommerce platforms and CRM systems may interact with Cybersource for payment initiation and with the iPaaS for customer/order data synchronization. All data passes through the iPaaS for transformation, validation, and orchestration."

Data Mapping

Key Entities & Intelligent Mapping

Understanding the core entities and their precise mapping is fundamental to a successful Sage Intacct Cybersource integration. Our iPaaS provides granular control and AI assistance for this critical step.

Payment Transaction

Represents a single payment event, including authorization, capture, sale, refund, or void. This is the core entity for financial operations.

Sage Intacct Fields

{ "field": "AR Payment ID", "type": "string", "required": false, "notes": "Unique identifier for the AR Payment in Sage Intacct." } { "field": "Customer ID", "type": "string", "required": true, "notes": "Links to the customer record in Sage Intacct." } { "field": "Invoice ID", "type": "string", "required": false, "notes": "Optional, links payment to a specific invoice." } { "field": "Payment Amount", "type": "decimal", "required": true, "notes": "The amount of the payment." } { "field": "Payment Date", "type": "date", "required": true, "notes": "Date the payment was processed." } { "field": "Payment Method", "type": "string", "required": true, "notes": "e.g., 'Credit Card', 'Visa', 'MasterCard'." } { "field": "Reference Number", "type": "string", "required": false, "notes": "Stores Cybersource `transactionId` for traceability." } { "field": "GL Account", "type": "string", "required": true, "notes": "Cash account for the payment." } { "field": "Location/Department", "type": "string", "required": false, "notes": "Dimensional tracking." }

Cybersource Fields

{ "field": "transactionId", "type": "string", "required": true, "notes": "Unique identifier for the Cybersource transaction." } { "field": "merchantDefinedData", "type": "object", "required": false, "notes": "Custom fields, often used to pass ERP Order ID." } { "field": "amount", "type": "decimal", "required": true, "notes": "Transaction amount." } { "field": "currency", "type": "string", "required": true, "notes": "Currency code (e.g., 'USD')." } { "field": "cardType", "type": "string", "required": false, "notes": "e.g., 'Visa', 'Mastercard'." } { "field": "cardLast4Digits", "type": "string", "required": false, "notes": "Last four digits of the card." } { "field": "status", "type": "string", "required": true, "notes": "e.g., 'AUTHORIZED', 'SETTLED', 'PENDING'." } { "field": "authCode", "type": "string", "required": false, "notes": "Authorization code." } { "field": "reasonCode", "type": "string", "required": false, "notes": "Reason for transaction status (e.g., '100' for success)." } { "field": "requestID", "type": "string", "required": true, "notes": "Unique ID for the API request." } { "field": "paymentMethod", "type": "string", "required": false, "notes": "High-level payment method." }

Mapping Notes

The Cybersource `transactionId` is directly mapped to Sage Intacct's `Reference Number` for a clear audit trail. `merchantDefinedData` is crucial for passing the Sage Intacct `Sales Order ID` or `Invoice ID` for accurate payment application. Cybersource's `cardType` is mapped to Sage Intacct's `Payment Method` lookup values.

Integration Use Cases

Explore how the integration behaves in real business scenarios, with clearly defined steps, outcomes, and execution patterns.

eCommerce Order to Payment & ERP Sales Order

When a customer places an order on your eCommerce platform, this workflow ensures the payment is securely processed by Cybersource and the corresponding sales order and payment receipt are automatically created in Sage Intacct.

Integration Steps:

  1. 0 Customer completes checkout on eCommerce platform.
  2. 1 eCommerce platform initiates payment authorization/capture via Cybersource.
  3. 2 Cybersource processes payment and sends a 'payment.capture.success' webhook to the iPaaS.
  4. 3 iPaaS receives webhook, maps order and payment data.
  5. 4 iPaaS creates Sales Order in Sage Intacct (if not already present).
  6. 5 iPaaS creates AR Payment in Sage Intacct, applying it to the Sales Order/Invoice.
  7. 6 Sage Intacct order status is updated to 'Paid' or 'Processing'.

Business Outcome

Accelerated order-to-cash cycle, accurate real-time revenue recognition, reduced manual data entry for sales orders and payments.
