Comprehensive Solution Details

  • Easily map custom fields in Vantiv (if applicable for metadata) and Infor (e.g., custom order attributes, customer segments) to ensure all relevant business data flows seamlessly.
  • The iPaaS visual designer allows drag-and-drop mapping of custom fields without coding.

Robust & Scalable Integration Architecture

The integration leverages a modern, cloud-native iPaaS as the central nervous system, ensuring secure, high-performance, and scalable data exchange between Vantiv and Infor. This architecture promotes an API-first and event-driven approach, minimizing latency and maximizing data freshness.

Data Flow Steps

Event-Driven Architecture: Utilize Vantiv webhooks for real-time updates (e.g., payment status, chargebacks) to trigger immediate workflows in Infor.

API-First Integration: Rely on robust, well-documented APIs from both Vantiv and Infor for all data exchange.

Canonical Data Model: Define a standardized data model within the iPaaS to harmonize data schemas between systems, simplifying mapping and transformations.

Asynchronous Processing: Implement queues for non-real-time or high-volume operations (e.g., settlement report processing) to prevent bottlenecks.

Microservices-based iPaaS: Leverage the modularity of iPaaS connectors and flows for independent scalability and easier maintenance.

Data Touchpoints

iPaaS Platform: Central hub for connectivity, data transformation, workflow orchestration, monitoring, and governance.
Vantiv API Gateway: Provides secure, authenticated access to Vantiv's payment processing services.
Infor API Gateway: Exposes Infor's ERP functionalities (Sales Orders, Invoices, GL, Customers) via APIs.
Event Bus/Queue (internal to iPaaS): Manages asynchronous processing and transient storage of events for fault tolerance.
AI/ML Services: Integrated for real-time fraud detection, intelligent mapping, and anomaly detection.
Secrets Management: Securely stores API keys, OAuth tokens, and sensitive credentials within the iPaaS.

"The architecture centers around the iPaaS layer, which connects to Vantiv's payment APIs and Infor's ERP APIs. Event streams (webhooks) from Vantiv trigger real-time workflows in the iPaaS, which then orchestrates data transformations and updates in Infor. Scheduled jobs handle batch processes like daily reconciliation. AI/ML services are integrated into the iPaaS for fraud detection and intelligent mapping."

Data Mapping

Data Entity Mapping

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

Payment Transaction

The core financial event managed by Vantiv, reflecting authorizations, captures, and refunds, which must be accurately reflected in Infor's financial records.

Vantiv Fields

transactionId amount currency status type paymentMethodType timestamp orderId customerId

Infor Fields

TransactionID InvoiceID PaymentDate PaymentMethod Amount Currency ProcessorReference Status

Mapping Notes

Vantiv's `transactionId` maps to Infor's `ProcessorReference` for traceability. Vantiv's `orderId` is crucial for linking to Infor's `Sales Order` and `Invoice`. `Status` fields require careful mapping to ensure consistency (e.g., 'CAPTURED' in Vantiv to 'Paid' in Infor).

Real-World Applications

Integration Use Cases

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

eCommerce Order-to-Cash Automation

Automate the complete order lifecycle from an eCommerce platform: customer places an order, payment is authorized via Vantiv, the Sales Order is created in Infor, inventory is updated, payment is captured, and an Invoice is generated and marked as paid in Infor. This ensures real-time inventory and financial accuracy.

Integration Steps:

  1. 0 Customer places order on eCommerce.
  2. 1 Payment authorization request sent to Vantiv.
  3. 2 Vantiv authorizes payment, returns token.
  4. 3 iPaaS creates Sales Order in Infor with payment token.
  5. 4 Order fulfillment triggers payment capture in Vantiv.
  6. 5 Vantiv confirms capture, iPaaS updates Sales Order status and creates Invoice in Infor, marking it paid.

Business Outcome

Accelerated order fulfillment, real-time inventory accuracy, reduced manual order entry, faster cash application, and improved customer satisfaction.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Financial Automation FAQs

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

Workflow Automation FAQs

Can I automate refund processes between Infor and Vantiv using low-code tools?
Absolutely. Low-code workflow automation tools within our iPaaS allow business users to visually design workflows that detect refund requests in Infor's ERP (e.g., from a sales return), trigger Vantiv's Refund API, and update all relevant financial records in Infor without writing a single line of code. This streamlines the entire refund lifecycle and ensures data consistency.

Security & Compliance FAQs

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

AI & Automation FAQs

How can AI enhance fraud detection in Vantiv payment workflows integrated with Infor?
AI can be integrated to analyze Vantiv transaction data in real-time within the iPaaS, identifying unusual patterns or anomalies indicative of fraud. It can generate fraud scores, automatically block high-risk transactions via Vantiv, and even create fraud alerts or cases directly in Infor (or a connected CRM) for immediate review. This significantly improves your fraud prevention capabilities and reduces losses.

Technical Integration FAQs

What are common technical constraints when integrating Vantiv and Infor APIs?
Common constraints include API rate limits from both Vantiv and Infor, specific data formatting requirements, strict security protocols (e.g., OAuth 2.0), and the need for idempotent transaction processing. Our iPaaS helps manage these by handling retries, data transformation, authentication, and ensuring compliance with API best practices, allowing you to focus on business logic.
Is Vantiv compatible with event-driven architecture for real-time updates to Infor?
Yes. Vantiv's APIs support event-driven architecture, especially through webhooks for critical events like payment authorizations, captures, or chargeback notifications. Our iPaaS acts as an intelligent event bus, capturing these Vantiv events and triggering immediate downstream workflows in Infor (e.g., creating a sales order, updating an invoice) in real-time, enabling highly responsive operations.

Data Management FAQs

How do I ensure data consistency between Vantiv, Infor, and my eCommerce platform?
Our iPaaS uses powerful mapping engines to harmonize data schemas across Vantiv, Infor, and any connected eCommerce platforms. It ensures that customer payment profiles are securely tokenized and consistently referenced, order payment statuses are synchronized in real-time, and any changes in one system (e.g., a refund in Infor) are accurately reflected across all connected applications, maintaining a 'golden record' of truth.

iPaaS Advantages FAQs

What are the benefits of using a unified iPaaS for all Vantiv and Infor integrations?
A unified iPaaS provides a single platform for managing all Vantiv and Infor integrations, offering centralized monitoring, governance, reusable components, and low-code development. This leads to faster integration development, reduced maintenance costs, improved data consistency, enhanced security, and a holistic view of your entire payment and ERP ecosystem, accelerating your digital transformation.
