Technical Integration Details: How SAP ByDesign & Cybersource Connect

Our iPaaS solution provides a robust, scalable, and secure framework for connecting SAP Business ByDesign and Cybersource. It leverages the strengths of both platforms' APIs, implementing best practices for data integrity, performance, and compliance.

Data Flow Steps

**Secure API Connectivity:** Establish secure, authenticated connections to SAP Business ByDesign's SOAP/OData services and Cybersource's REST APIs using dedicated service accounts and HMAC/OAuth 2.0.

**Event-Driven Triggers:** Configure Cybersource webhooks for real-time notifications on payment authorizations, captures, refunds, and fraud decisions. Utilize ByDesign events for order or invoice status changes.

**Canonical Data Model:** Normalize incoming data from both systems into a common, canonical format within the iPaaS for consistent processing.

**Data Transformation & Validation:** Apply visual mapping and transformation rules to adapt data schemas between systems, including currency conversion, address formatting, and GL account determination. Implement AI-powered validation checks.

**Business Logic & Orchestration:** Design complex multi-step workflows in the iPaaS, incorporating conditional logic, decision trees, and error handling for scenarios like fraud alerts or failed payments.

**Error Handling & Monitoring:** Implement robust retry mechanisms, dead-letter queues, and centralized logging. Monitor all integration flows from a single dashboard with proactive alerting.

**Deployment & Lifecycle Management:** Utilize Dev → QA → Prod pipelines for controlled deployment, version control, and rollback capabilities for all integration flows.

Data Touchpoints

Cybersource Payment Transaction ↔ ByDesign Payment
Cybersource Order ↔ ByDesign Sales Order
Cybersource Customer Profile ↔ ByDesign Business Partner
Cybersource Settlement Batch ↔ ByDesign General Ledger Entry
Cybersource Fraud Case ↔ ByDesign Sales Order (Status Update)
ByDesign Invoice/Credit Memo ↔ Cybersource Refund

"The integration architecture centers around a modern iPaaS. eCommerce platforms initiate orders, triggering Cybersource for payment processing. Cybersource sends real-time payment and fraud events via webhooks to the iPaaS. The iPaaS then orchestrates the creation of Sales Orders, Payments, and Customer records in SAP Business ByDesign. For financial reconciliation, the iPaaS pulls daily settlement reports from Cybersource and posts Journal Entries to ByDesign's General Ledger. ByDesign can also trigger refunds which the iPaaS sends to Cybersource. Customer data (Business Partners) is synchronized bi-directionally or uni-directionally based on business rules."

Data Mapping

Key Entities & Intelligent Data Mapping

Seamless data flow between SAP Business ByDesign and Cybersource relies on accurate mapping of critical business entities. Our iPaaS provides visual, AI-assisted tools to ensure precise data harmonization and transformation.

Sales Order (ByDesign) / Order (Cybersource)

The core transaction entity. Cybersource handles the payment aspect of the order, while ByDesign manages the financial, fulfillment, and logistical aspects.

SAP Business ByDesign Fields

ID (Sales Order ID) BuyerID (Customer Business Partner ID) SellerID (Company ID) Status (e.g., Open, In Process, Completed) TotalAmount, CurrencyCode ProductLineItemID, Quantity, RequestedFulfillmentDate ExternalReferenceID (for Cybersource transaction ID)

Cybersource Fields

orderId (Merchant Reference Code) totalAmount, currency customerEmail, billingAddress, shippingAddress lineItems (product details, quantity, price) paymentMethodUsed transactionId (from Payment Transaction)

Mapping Notes

Cybersource's `orderId` is crucial for linking to ByDesign. `totalAmount` and `currency` must be reconciled. Line items from Cybersource are mapped to ByDesign's `ProductLineItemID` and associated details. The Cybersource `transactionId` is stored in ByDesign's `ExternalReferenceID` for auditability.

Support & Information

Frequently Asked Questions

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

General FAQs

▸ What are the primary benefits of integrating SAP Business ByDesign with Cybersource?
Integrating SAP Business ByDesign with Cybersource automates your entire order-to-cash cycle, from payment processing and fraud management to financial reconciliation. Key benefits include real-time payment capture, automated sales order creation, enhanced fraud detection, PCI DSS compliance, and significant reductions in manual data entry and reconciliation time.

Technical FAQs

▸ How does an iPaaS facilitate this integration compared to custom code?
An iPaaS (Integration Platform as a Service) provides a scalable, low-code/no-code environment with pre-built connectors, visual data mapping tools, and centralized monitoring. This significantly reduces development time, maintenance costs, and technical debt compared to custom point-to-point coding. It also offers robust error handling, security features, and AI enhancements for smarter workflows.
▸ How are errors and exceptions handled in the integration?
The integration employs robust error handling with intelligent retry mechanisms for transient errors (e.g., network issues). For business logic errors (e.g., invalid data), messages are routed to a dead-letter queue for manual review, and proactive alerts are sent to relevant teams. Centralized logging provides full auditability.

Security FAQs

▸ Is the integration PCI DSS compliant, especially when handling card data?
Yes, absolutely. The integration prioritizes PCI DSS compliance by leveraging Cybersource's tokenization services. This means sensitive cardholder data never touches your internal systems; only secure, non-sensitive tokens are stored in ByDesign or the iPaaS, drastically reducing your PCI scope.

AI FAQs

▸ How does AI enhance the SAP ByDesign and Cybersource integration?
AI significantly augments the integration by providing intelligent data mapping suggestions, automating anomaly detection in transactions and reconciliation reports, and enabling AI-powered exception handling for common errors. It can also enhance fraud detection by refining risk scoring and automating response workflows.

Financial FAQs

▸ Can I automate daily settlement reconciliation between Cybersource and ByDesign's General Ledger?
Yes. Our iPaaS solution is designed to automatically retrieve daily settlement reports from Cybersource, parse the aggregated data (sales, refunds, fees, chargebacks), and transform it into corresponding Journal Entry Vouchers in SAP Business ByDesign's General Ledger. This eliminates manual reconciliation and speeds up your financial close process.

Data FAQs

▸ What are the key entities synchronized between SAP ByDesign and Cybersource?
The core entities synchronized include `Sales Orders` (ByDesign) / `Orders` (Cybersource), `Payments` (ByDesign) / `Payment Transactions` (Cybersource), `Business Partners` (ByDesign) / `Customer Profiles` (Cybersource), and `General Ledger Entries` (ByDesign) derived from Cybersource `Settlement Batches`.
