Unify Payments & ERP: Microsoft Dynamics GP & Vantiv Integration

Automate financial reconciliation, accelerate payment processing, and ensure PCI compliance with a powerful, AI-enhanced integration platform.

The Challenge

The Disconnect Between Payments and Your ERP: Why Manual Processes Fail

Managing payment processing through Vantiv and financial records in Microsoft Dynamics GP as separate silos creates significant operational inefficiencies, compliance risks, and a lack of real-time financial clarity. This manual gap is a major bottleneck for growing businesses.

  • Manual Data Entry & Reconciliation: Copying transaction data from Vantiv reports into Dynamics GP for sales orders, invoices, and GL entries is time-consuming, prone to errors, and delays financial close.
  • Delayed Cash Flow Visibility: Without real-time updates from Vantiv into GP, businesses struggle to get an accurate, up-to-the-minute picture of their cash position and outstanding receivables.
  • PCI DSS Compliance Burden: Handling raw cardholder data internally, even temporarily, significantly increases PCI scope and audit complexity, diverting resources from core business activities.
  • Inefficient Refund & Dispute Management: Manually processing refunds or gathering data for chargebacks across disparate systems is slow, impacts customer satisfaction, and can lead to financial losses.
  • Lack of Fraud Detection & Anomaly Alerts: Disconnected systems make it harder to consolidate transaction data for advanced fraud detection and to identify unusual financial patterns for proactive intervention.

Deep Dive: Dynamics GP & Vantiv Integration Architecture & Data Flow

Our integration solution orchestrates a seamless, secure, and intelligent data flow between Microsoft Dynamics GP and Vantiv using a robust iPaaS. This hybrid architecture ensures that your on-premise ERP interacts flawlessly with cloud-based payment processing, enabling real-time financial automation.

Data Flow Steps

Secure Connectivity: Establish secure, encrypted connections to both Vantiv (via its RESTful APIs) and Microsoft Dynamics GP (via a secure on-premise agent utilizing eConnect or Web Services).

Event-Driven Triggers: Configure webhooks from Vantiv (e.g., `transaction captured`, `refund processed`) or polling mechanisms for GP events (e.g., new `Credit Memo` creation).

Data Ingestion & Transformation: The iPaaS ingests raw data, applies predefined low-code transformations and business rules to standardize schemas and prepare data for the target system.

Intelligent Mapping: Visually map Vantiv entities (`Transaction`, `SettlementBatch`) to Dynamics GP entities (`Sales Order`, `Invoice`, `General Ledger Journal Entry`, `Customer`), with AI assistance for complex fields.

Data Validation & Error Handling: Implement robust validation rules before data enters GP, and sophisticated error handling with automated retries and dead-letter queues for failed transactions.

Secure Data Delivery: Deliver transformed data to Dynamics GP via eConnect (for high volume) or Web Services, or to Vantiv APIs for actions like refunds or voids.

Monitoring & Auditing: Continuous monitoring of integration flows, detailed logging of all transactions, and comprehensive audit trails for compliance and troubleshooting.

Data Touchpoints

Vantiv `Transaction` <-> GP `Invoice` (Sales/AR), GP `Checkbook Transaction`
Vantiv `SettlementBatch` <-> GP `General Ledger Journal Entry`
Vantiv `Refund` <-> GP `Invoice` (Credit Memo)
Vantiv `Customer` / `PaymentMethod` (token) <-> GP `Customer`
GP `Sales Order (SOP Document)` <-> Vantiv `merchantTransactionId`
GP `Item` (for inventory updates related to sales)
GP `Salesperson` (for commission tracking related to Vantiv transactions)

"The integration flow typically starts with a Vantiv event (e.g., payment capture). This triggers the iPaaS, which securely ingests the transaction data. The data is then transformed and validated, often with AI assistance, before being routed to Microsoft Dynamics GP via its secure on-premise agent. In GP, this could result in a new Sales Order, an updated Customer record, or a General Ledger Journal Entry. For actions initiated in GP (like refunds), the flow reverses: GP event -> iPaaS -> Vantiv API. All data movement is encrypted and monitored."

Data Mapping

Key Entities & Intelligent Data Mapping for Seamless Integration

Effective integration hinges on precise mapping between Microsoft Dynamics GP's robust financial entities and Vantiv's payment-centric data structures. Our iPaaS provides visual, AI-assisted tools to ensure accurate and compliant data flow, handling complex transformations and validations.

Vantiv Transaction <-> Dynamics GP Invoice (Sales/AR) / Checkbook Transaction

Represents a single payment event (authorization, capture, sale, refund) in Vantiv and its corresponding financial record in Dynamics GP, typically a customer invoice or a cash receipt/checkbook transaction.

Vantiv Microsoft Fields

DocType (Invoice, Credit Memo) DocNumber DocDate CustomerID TotalAmount AmountRemaining GLPostingDate SOPType SOPNumber CustPONumber

Dynamics GP Fields

transactionId merchantTransactionId amount currency status (AUTHORIZED, CAPTURED, REFUNDED) type (AUTH, SALE, REFUND) paymentMethodType timestamp cardDetails (tokenized)

Mapping Notes

The `Vantiv transactionId` or `merchantTransactionId` (which should correspond to your internal `SOPNumber` or `DocNumber`) is crucial for linking. `Vantiv amount` maps directly to `GP TotalAmount`. `Vantiv status` dictates the `DocType` or subsequent actions in GP (e.g., a CAPTURED transaction creates an `Invoice` or `Cash Receipt`, a REFUND creates a `Credit Memo`).
