The Challenge

The Costly Disconnect Between Your ERP and Payment Gateway

Managing financial data across TIMS ERP and PayPal manually is a source of constant friction, delaying cash flow, introducing errors, and consuming valuable resources. Without a robust integration, your business struggles with inefficiencies that hinder growth and decision-making.

  • Manual reconciliation of PayPal transactions with TIMS invoices is time-consuming and prone to errors.
  • Delayed order processing due to slow synchronization of PayPal payment statuses to TIMS.
  • Inaccurate inventory levels in TIMS due to non-real-time updates from sales processed via PayPal.
  • Lack of unified customer data, leading to fragmented profiles and inconsistent service.
  • Challenges in accurately accounting for PayPal fees and multi-currency transactions in TIMS General Ledger.
  • Inefficient refund processing and mass payouts, impacting customer satisfaction and vendor relations.

Data Mapping

Data Entity Mapping

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

Sales Order (TIMS) & Order (PayPal Checkout)

Synchronizes customer purchase requests, ensuring orders placed via PayPal initiate fulfillment and billing processes within TIMS.

PayPal Fields

SalesOrderID ExternalOrderID CustomerID OrderDate TotalAmount LineItems (Product, Quantity, Price) ShippingAddress BillingAddress Status

TIMS Fields

id (PayPal Order ID) status purchase_units[].amount.value purchaseunits[].referenceid (internal order ID) payer.email_address create_time purchase_units[].shipping.address

Mapping Notes

PayPal's `purchaseunits[].referenceid` is critical to map to TIMS `ExternalOrderID` for traceability. Line item details require careful parsing from PayPal's order structure to TIMS's `LineItems` array, including product mapping by SKU. Customer mapping should precede order creation.

Automated eCommerce Order-to-Cash with PayPal

When a customer completes an order and pays via PayPal on an eCommerce platform, this integration automatically creates a Sales Order, Invoice, and Payment record in TIMS, updates inventory, and initiates fulfillment, all in real-time.

Integration Steps:

  1. 0 Customer pays via PayPal on eCommerce site.
  2. 1 PayPal webhook triggers iPaaS workflow for 'Payment Captured' event.
  3. 2 iPaaS extracts order and payment details from PayPal and eCommerce.
  4. 3 iPaaS creates/updates Customer record in TIMS (if new/existing).
  5. 4 iPaaS creates Sales Order in TIMS, linking PayPal transaction ID.
  6. 5 iPaaS generates Invoice and applies Payment in TIMS.
  7. 6 iPaaS updates inventory levels in TIMS.
  8. 7 Fulfillment request is sent from TIMS (or triggered by TIMS order creation).

Business Outcome

Accelerated order processing, real-time inventory accuracy, faster cash recognition, reduced manual data entry.

Technical Documentation

API Endpoints & Data Logic

Technical details for developers and architects.

Method Endpoint Purpose
POST /api/v1/sales_orders Create new sales orders in TIMS from eCommerce or CRM systems, typically triggered by a successful PayPal payment.
POST /api/v1/customers Create new customer records in TIMS, populating with payer data from PayPal.
PUT /api/v1/customers/{id} Update existing customer records in TIMS with latest PayPal payer information.
POST /api/v1/invoices Create new invoices in TIMS, linked to sales orders and ready for payment application.
POST /api/v1/payments Record incoming payments in TIMS, applying them to outstanding invoices based on PayPal transaction data.
PUT /api/v1/inventory/{sku}/quantity Update inventory levels in TIMS post-sale, triggered by a confirmed PayPal payment and order creation.
POST /api/v1/generalledgerentries Post journal entries directly to the TIMS General Ledger for financial adjustments, fees, and reconciliation.

⚡ Transformation Logic

  • Currency Conversion: Handle multi-currency transactions by applying real-time or daily exchange rates for posting to TIMS General Ledger.
  • Data Type Mapping: Convert PayPal's JSON data types (e.g., string dates, decimal amounts) to TIMS's expected formats.
  • Status Mapping: Standardize payment/order statuses between PayPal (e.g., 'COMPLETED', 'PENDING') and TIMS (e.g., 'Paid', 'Open').
  • Line Item Parsing: Deconstruct PayPal's `purchase_units` array into TIMS's discrete `LineItems` structure, matching products by SKU.
  • Fee Allocation: Separate PayPal transaction fees for distinct General Ledger posting in TIMS.
  • Custom Field Propagation: Ensure custom identifiers like `invoiceid` or `referenceid` are consistently passed through PayPal and mapped to TIMS records for traceability.

🛡️ Error Handling

  • TIMS API unavailability or rate limit breaches.
  • PayPal API errors or webhook delivery failures.
  • Data validation errors (e.g., invalid SKU, missing required fields).
  • Network connectivity issues between iPaaS and either system.
  • Duplicate transaction attempts due to retries without idempotency.
  • Mismatch between PayPal transaction currency and TIMS ledger currency.
