Robust Integration Architecture: Vantiv & Epicor

A modern iPaaS forms the core of the Vantiv-Epicor integration architecture, providing a scalable, secure, and flexible platform to orchestrate complex data flows and business logic.

Data Flow Steps

Event-Driven Architecture: Utilize webhooks for real-time payment status and chargeback notifications.

Canonical Data Model: Standardize data formats within the iPaaS before mapping to specific system schemas.

Idempotent Operations: Design integration flows to prevent duplicate transactions upon retries.

Microservices-based Integration: Break down complex flows into smaller, manageable, reusable components.

API-First Design: Leverage Epicor's REST APIs and Vantiv's modern API capabilities.

Data Touchpoints

iPaaS Runtime Engine: Executes integration flows.
Vantiv Connector: Pre-built adapter for Vantiv APIs.
Epicor Connector: Pre-built adapter for Epicor Kinetic APIs (or Service Connect for older versions).
Data Mapping & Transformation Engine: Harmonizes data schemas.
Workflow Orchestration Engine: Manages complex multi-step processes.
Error Handling & Monitoring Module: Centralized logging, alerting, and retry logic.
API Gateway: Manages secure access and rate limits for external calls.
Message Queues/Event Bus: For asynchronous processing and event-driven communication.

"The architecture typically features the iPaaS as a central hub, connecting Vantiv (via REST APIs/Webhooks) and Epicor (via REST APIs/BPMs). External systems like eCommerce or CRM also connect to the iPaaS, enabling a multi-system, unified data fabric. Data flows bi-directionally, with event-driven triggers for real-time updates and scheduled processes for batch operations."

Data Mapping

Data Entity Mapping

Explore how data flows between systems with intelligent field mapping and transformation logic.

Payment Transaction (Vantiv) / Cash Receipt (Epicor)

Synchronizes payment authorizations, captures, and subsequent cash receipts between Vantiv and Epicor for accurate financial recording.

Vantiv Fields

transactionId amount currency status type paymentMethodType timestamp orderId customerId

Epicor Fields

CashReceiptID CustNum InvoiceNum ReceiptAmt ReceiptDate Reference Posted

Mapping Notes

Vantiv's `transactionId` typically maps to Epicor's `Reference` field for traceability. `amount` maps to `ReceiptAmt`. `orderId` often links to `InvoiceNum` derived from the Epicor SalesOrder. Status updates from Vantiv determine Epicor's `Posted` status.

Automated eCommerce Order-to-Cash Cycle

Seamlessly transfer new eCommerce orders from your sales channel to Epicor, process payments via Vantiv, and automatically post cash receipts in Epicor AR. This ensures real-time inventory updates, immediate payment capture, and accelerated order fulfillment.

Integration Steps:

  1. 0 Customer places order on eCommerce platform.
  2. 1 Order data is sent to iPaaS.
  3. 2 iPaaS initiates payment authorization with Vantiv.
  4. 3 Upon successful authorization, SalesOrder is created in Epicor.
  5. 4 Vantiv captures payment.
  6. 5 iPaaS posts Cash Receipt in Epicor AR.
  7. 6 Order status updated across systems.

Business Outcome

Faster order fulfillment, reduced manual AR entry, improved cash flow, accurate inventory.

Technical Documentation

API Endpoints & Data Logic

Technical details for developers and architects.

Method Endpoint Purpose

⚡ Transformation Logic

  • Vantiv transaction types (Auth, Capture, Refund) are mapped to Epicor financial transaction types (Sales Order, Cash Receipt, Debit Memo).
  • Currency conversion rules are applied if multi-currency operations are active in Epicor.
  • Vantiv settlement data is parsed and aggregated to create balanced debit/credit entries for Epicor's General Ledger.
  • Address formatting is standardized between eCommerce/Vantiv and Epicor for shipping and billing.
  • Error codes from Vantiv are translated into actionable Epicor statuses or alerts.

🛡️ Error Handling

  • Vantiv payment authorization failure (e.g., insufficient funds, card declined).
  • Epicor Sales Order creation failure (e.g., invalid PartNum, missing Customer).
  • Discrepancy between Vantiv settlement total and Epicor GL entries.
  • Duplicate Cash Receipt creation due to retry without idempotency.
  • Network connectivity issues preventing API calls.

Support & Information

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Financial Reconciliation FAQs

▸ How does Vantiv integrate with Epicor for financial reconciliation?
A modern iPaaS connects Vantiv's daily settlement reports (via API) with Epicor's General Ledger. The iPaaS maps Vantiv's transaction data (sales, refunds, fees, chargebacks) to specific Epicor GL accounts, automating the creation of journal entries and flagging any discrepancies for review, significantly reducing manual effort and accelerating your financial close.

Order-to-Cash FAQs

▸ Can I automate eCommerce order processing from Vantiv payments to Epicor Sales Orders?
Absolutely. When a customer places an order and Vantiv authorizes payment, the iPaaS captures this event. It then automatically creates a Sales Order in Epicor, populating it with customer and order details. Upon payment capture by Vantiv, the iPaaS posts a corresponding Cash Receipt in Epicor AR, ensuring real-time order fulfillment and accurate financial records.

Security & Compliance FAQs

▸ What security standards do Vantiv-Epicor integrations need to meet, especially PCI DSS?
Vantiv-Epicor integrations must adhere to PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard). This is primarily achieved through tokenization: sensitive card data is never stored on your Epicor systems, only a secure token provided by Vantiv. The iPaaS ensures secure, encrypted data transmission (TLS 1.2+) and robust access controls, minimizing your compliance burden.

AI & Automation FAQs

▸ How can AI enhance fraud detection in Vantiv payments and Epicor workflows?
AI can analyze Vantiv transaction data in real-time, identifying unusual patterns or anomalies indicative of fraud. It can generate fraud scores, automatically block high-risk transactions, or route suspicious payments for manual review within Epicor or a connected CRM. AI can also help detect and suggest resolutions for reconciliation discrepancies in Epicor.

Technical Integration FAQs

▸ What are common technical considerations when integrating Vantiv and Epicor APIs?
Common considerations include managing API rate limits from both Vantiv and Epicor, ensuring consistent data formatting, implementing secure authentication (OAuth 2.0/tokens), and designing idempotent transaction processing to prevent duplicates. An iPaaS handles these complexities by managing retries, data transformation, authentication, and compliance with API best practices.

Low-Code/No-Code FAQs

▸ Can low-code tools customize Vantiv-Epicor workflows without extensive coding?
Yes, modern iPaaS platforms offer extensive low-code/no-code capabilities. Business users can graphically design, configure, and deploy complex Vantiv-Epicor workflows (like custom reconciliation rules, approval processes for refunds, or specific fraud alerts) through visual interfaces, significantly reducing reliance on developer resources and accelerating implementation.

Data Management FAQs

▸ How do I ensure data consistency between Vantiv, Epicor, and my eCommerce platform?
An iPaaS uses robust mapping engines to harmonize data schemas across systems. It ensures that customer payment profiles are tokenized and consistently referenced, order payment statuses are synchronized, and any changes in one system (e.g., a refund in Epicor) are accurately reflected in Vantiv and your eCommerce platform, maintaining a single source of truth.
