Stripe to TIMS Integration: Technical Architecture & Data Flow

This integration leverages an advanced iPaaS platform as the central orchestration layer, connecting Stripe's robust API and real-time webhooks with TIMS's comprehensive API endpoints. It ensures secure, scalable, and intelligent data exchange for critical business processes.

Data Flow Steps

1. Event Listeners: iPaaS listens for Stripe webhooks (e.g., `charge.succeeded`, `invoice.payment_succeeded`, `payout.paid`, `customer.created/updated`, `charge.refunded`).

2. Data Retrieval: Upon a webhook trigger, the iPaaS may make additional API calls to Stripe to fetch complete details of the event object (e.g., full `Charge` or `Subscription` object).

3. Data Harmonization & Transformation: The iPaaS's mapping engine transforms the Stripe data (JSON) into the specific data structures required by TIMS (often XML or JSON, with specific field names and data types). This includes lookups, conditional logic, and data cleansing.

4. Business Logic & Validation: Workflows apply predefined business rules (e.g., tax calculations, currency conversion, ledger account determination) and validate data against TIMS requirements.

5. TIMS API Invocation: The iPaaS invokes relevant TIMS API endpoints (e.g., `/api/v1/accounts/receivable/invoices`, `/api/v1/generalledger/journalentries`, `/api/v1/customers`, `/api/v1/inventory/items/{sku}/quantity`) to create or update records.

6. Error Handling & Retry: If a TIMS API call fails, the iPaaS implements intelligent retry mechanisms with exponential backoff. Persistent errors are logged, escalated, and routed to a dead-letter queue.

7. Status Updates & Notifications: The iPaaS can update statuses back in Stripe (e.g., via `metadata`) or trigger notifications to relevant business users (e.g., finance team for reconciliation issues).

8. Bidirectional Sync (as needed): For entities like `Customer` or `Product/Item`, changes originating in TIMS can also trigger iPaaS workflows to update Stripe via its API.

Data Touchpoints

Stripe `Customer` <-> TIMS `Customer`

Stripe `Charge` / `PaymentIntent` / `Invoice` -> TIMS `Payment (AR)` / `Invoice (AR)`

Stripe `Refund` -> TIMS `Credit Memo` / `General Ledger Entry`

Stripe `Payout` / `BalanceTransaction` -> TIMS `General Ledger Entry` / `Bank Deposit`

Stripe `Subscription` / `Invoice` -> TIMS `Invoice (AR)` / `General Ledger Entry` (for revenue recognition)

Stripe `Product` <-> TIMS `Product/Item`

eCommerce Order (paid via Stripe) -> TIMS `Sales Order`

"Stripe Webhook Event -> iPaaS Data Ingestion -> Data Transformation & Business Logic -> TIMS API Call (Create/Update Record) -> Error Handling & Monitoring -> (Optional) Status Update Back to Stripe / Notifications."

Data Mapping

Key Entities & Intelligent Mapping between Stripe and TIMS

The foundation of a robust integration lies in accurate, intelligent mapping of critical business entities. Our iPaaS provides granular control and AI assistance for synchronizing Customer, Payment, Invoice, and Product data between Stripe and TIMS.

Customer

Synchronizes customer records to ensure a unified view, linking payment profiles in Stripe with accounting and sales history in TIMS.

Stripe Fields

id (Stripe Customer ID) email name description metadata (for TIMS_CustomerID) default_source (primary payment method) address.line1 address.city address.state address.postal_code address.country

TIMS Fields

CustomerID (TIMS unique ID) ExternalID (for Stripe Customer ID) CompanyName FirstName LastName Email Phone BillingAddress.Street BillingAddress.City BillingAddress.State BillingAddress.Zip BillingAddress.Country ShippingAddress.Street ShippingAddress.City ShippingAddress.State ShippingAddress.Zip ShippingAddress.Country PaymentTerms

Mapping Notes

Prioritize `ExternalID` in TIMS to store Stripe Customer ID for seamless lookup. Implement deduplication logic based on email or `ExternalID`. Use Stripe `metadata` to store `TIMS_CustomerID` for bidirectional referencing. Address mapping requires careful handling of structure differences.

Payment / Charge

Translates successful Stripe charges into TIMS Accounts Receivable Payments, ensuring accurate financial recording and reconciliation.

Stripe Fields

Charge.id (Stripe Charge ID) Charge.amount Charge.currency Charge.customer (Stripe Customer ID) Charge.paymentmethoddetails.type (e.g., 'card', 'ach') Charge.status ('succeeded', 'failed') Charge.balance_transaction (for payout linkage) Charge.receipt_email Charge.metadata (for SalesOrder ID, Invoice ID)

TIMS Fields

PaymentID (TIMS unique ID) TransactionID (for Stripe Charge ID) CustomerID (TIMS Customer ID) InvoiceID (TIMS Invoice ID, if applicable) PaymentDate Amount Currency PaymentMethod (e.g., 'Credit Card', 'ACH') Reference (e.g., 'Stripe Charge') Memo

Mapping Notes

The Stripe `charge.succeeded` webhook is the primary trigger. Map `Charge.id` to TIMS `TransactionID`. Link to the correct TIMS `CustomerID` using the `ExternalID` lookup. If the charge relates to an existing TIMS `Invoice (AR)`, apply the payment to that invoice. Otherwise, create a new `Payment (AR)` and link to the `Sales Order`.

Invoice (AR)

Synchronizes Stripe invoices (for subscriptions or one-off billing) with TIMS Accounts Receivable, ensuring accurate billing and revenue recognition.

Stripe Fields

Invoice.id (Stripe Invoice ID) Invoice.customer (Stripe Customer ID) Invoice.amount_due Invoice.currency Invoice.status ('draft', 'open', 'paid', 'void', 'uncollectible') Invoice.paid Invoice.due_date Invoice.charge (linked Charge ID, if paid) Invoice.lines (line items with product, quantity, unit_amount) Invoice.subscription (linked Subscription ID) Invoice.metadata (for TIMS SalesOrderID)

TIMS Fields

InvoiceID (TIMS unique ID) ExternalID (for Stripe Invoice ID) SalesOrderID (TIMS Sales Order ID, if applicable) CustomerID (TIMS Customer ID) InvoiceDate DueDate TotalAmount AmountDue Status (Paid, Unpaid, Partially Paid) LineItems (SKU, Quantity, UnitPrice, Description) TaxAmount PaymentStatus

Mapping Notes

Stripe `invoice.payment_succeeded` is a key trigger. Map Stripe `Invoice.id` to TIMS `ExternalID`. Create or update TIMS `Invoice (AR)`. Ensure `LineItems` from Stripe are correctly parsed and mapped to TIMS `LineItems`, referencing TIMS `Product/Item` by SKU. Link to the correct TIMS `CustomerID`.

Product/Item

Synchronizes product or service definitions to ensure consistent catalog and pricing for billing and sales operations.

Stripe Fields

Product.id (Stripe Product ID) Product.name Product.description Product.active Product.metadata (for TIMS SKU) Price.id (Stripe Price ID) Price.unit_amount Price.currency Price.recurring (interval, interval_count)

TIMS Fields

SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) ItemName Description UnitPrice Cost InventoryQuantity TaxCode ProductCategory ExternalID (for Stripe Product ID)

Mapping Notes

Typically, TIMS is the master for `Product/Item` data. New or updated TIMS `Product/Item` records should create or update corresponding Stripe `Product` and `Price` objects. Stripe `metadata` can store the TIMS `SKU` for easy lookup.
