Connect PayPal and Epicor

Connecting PayPal and Epicor for a company could enable the transfer of payment data between the online payment platform and the enterprise resource planning system. This setup could support automated reconciliation of transactions, improve financial reporting accuracy, and reduce manual entry by aligning payment records with accounting and inventory data managed in Epicor.

You can build this integration on the System2System platform. We design the connection between PayPal and Epicor around the way you work — not as an off-the-shelf connector, but to fit your systems.

Why connect PayPal and Epicor?

A company that uses both PayPal and Epicor could benefit from connecting the two systems in order to streamline operations and improve the accuracy of financial data. Without such a connection, staff may need to enter the same payment or transaction information in both systems, which increases the risk of errors and consumes valuable time. As records are updated separately in each platform, discrepancies could develop, leading to confusion or incorrect reporting. This can result in business decisions being made based on outdated or inconsistent figures, undermining confidence in financial data. If a connection were established, it could allow for the exchange of key data such as payment transactions, customer information, and order details. For example, transaction data could be transferred from PayPal to Epicor, supporting more accurate accounting and reconciliation processes. Customer records and payment statuses could be updated automatically, reducing manual effort and helping to ensure that both systems reflect the same information. The specific types of data that could be exchanged would depend on the capabilities of each system and the needs of the business. What can actually be exchanged depends on what each system exposes through its API, and is determined per situation.

How System2System builds an integration

Connectors

We connect to each system through the interface it offers — an API, a database, a file exchange or a webhook — and handle authentication, rate limits and retries.

Mapping

Fields rarely line up one to one. We map and transform the data so both systems receive it in the shape they expect.

Workflow

We define what triggers an exchange, in which direction data flows and which system takes precedence when the two disagree.

Monitoring

Every exchange is logged. Failures are flagged and can be replayed, so nothing disappears without anyone noticing.

What can actually be exchanged?

That depends on what PayPal and Epicor make available through their APIs, on the licences and modules in use, and on the version each system runs. Which records are synchronised, in which direction and how often, is something we determine together before any work starts.

We are happy to look at your specific situation and tell you what is feasible — including when the answer is that it is not.
