This document serves as a practical and actionable training guide for the daily operational management of payment processes integrated within the Creatio, InterWeave SmartSolutions, and Payment Gateway ecosystem. It is specifically designed to bridge the gap identified in existing resources, providing targeted training topics for users and administrators on managing daily payment flows, effectively utilizing the InterWeave Customer Portal, and systematically troubleshooting common operational issues.

At its core, this integrated setup leverages Creatio as the central hub for managing customer relationships, sales orders, and invoices. InterWeave SmartSolutions acts as the intelligent bridge, automating data synchronization and orchestrating complex payment workflows between Creatio and various payment gateways. The payment gateways themselves are the facilitators of the actual financial transactions, securely processing credit card and direct payments.

The interconnected nature of these systems means that a disruption or misconfiguration in one component can have immediate and far-reaching effects across the entire payment lifecycle. The guide emphasizes “real-time & bi-directional sync” and “automated workflows” , which certainly leads to enhanced efficiency and reduced manual effort. However, this tight coupling also introduces increased interdependency. For instance, if InterWeave experiences a synchronization failure, Creatio records could quickly become outdated, directly impacting financial reporting and any subsequent automated actions. Similarly, an outage at the payment gateway would halt all new transactions, irrespective of the operational status of Creatio or InterWeave. Therefore, effective daily management extends beyond merely performing individual component tasks; it demands a comprehensive understanding of the entire payment flow, identifying potential choke points or failure modes across the entire chain. This necessity for proactive monitoring and a holistic troubleshooting approach will be a consistent theme throughout this training.

A clear understanding of each component’s role and its daily interaction within the integrated payment ecosystem is fundamental for efficient operation and effective problem resolution.

Creatio: Your Daily CRM and Business Process Hub

Creatio functions as the primary CRM and business process automation platform, managing critical entities such as accounts, contacts, sales orders, and invoices, which form the bedrock for payment collection. It includes a dedicated “Payments” section for tracking transaction records, and its robust business process designer allows for the automation of various sales and service workflows, which can be extended to include payment-related triggers and actions once integrated.

In daily operations, users will primarily interact with Creatio for tasks such as creating and managing invoices, viewing the real-time status of payments, and triggering payment-related workflows. Creatio’s comprehensive set of APIs (OData, DataService, custom web services, REST API, ProcessEngineService) enables seamless data exchange with external applications like InterWeave, making it highly extensible for integrations.

InterWeave SmartSolutions: The Integration Bridge in Action

InterWeave SmartSolutions serves as the crucial Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS), acting as the bridge between Creatio and numerous payment gateways. It ensures real-time and bi-directional synchronization of payment information, transaction statuses, and related customer data between Creatio and the chosen payment gateway. Key features vital for daily operations include Automated Recurring Billing (ARB), which facilitates automated, scheduled, and recurring payment processing for subscription-based businesses, and the Customer Self-Service Portal, enabling customers to manage invoices, update payment methods, and make payments independently.

While much of InterWeave’s functionality operates automatically in the background, administrators will actively utilize the InterWeave Integration Manager (IM) dashboard for critical tasks such as monitoring data flows, handling errors, and reprocessing failed transactions. This dashboard provides real-time alerts and detailed transaction logs, making it an indispensable tool for maintaining operational stability.

Payment Gateways: Facilitating Daily Transactions

Payment gateways are specialized services that authorize credit card or direct payment processing for online businesses. They securely transmit transaction information from the customer to the acquiring bank and back to the merchant. Their core functions include authorization and capture of funds, comprehensive transaction management (including IDs and statuses), and the ability to process refunds and voids. Payment gateways also incorporate essential security features such as fraud detection, tokenization (replacing sensitive card data with unique identifiers), and adherence to industry standards like PCI DSS. They often provide webhooks or Instant Payment Notifications (IPNs) for real-time updates to integrated systems like InterWeave regarding transaction status changes.

From an end-user perspective, direct interaction with the payment gateway is minimal; their payment experience is abstracted through Creatio or the InterWeave Customer Portal. However, administrators may need to consult the payment gateway’s documentation for specific error codes or API details during advanced troubleshooting scenarios.

The abstraction provided by InterWeave, while simplifying daily operations for end-users, places a higher responsibility on administrators to comprehend the underlying technical flows for effective troubleshooting. When an issue arises, such as a payment failure, the end-user in Creatio will observe a “failed” status but will not have immediate access to the root cause. It then becomes the administrator’s role to delve into InterWeave’s Integration Manager and potentially the payment gateway’s logs to diagnose the underlying problem. This requires a deeper technical understanding of how data flows

between the systems, not just within a single platform. Consequently, effective daily management necessitates a tiered support model where end-users report issues, and administrators possess the cross-platform knowledge to investigate and resolve them, leveraging the comprehensive monitoring tools provided by InterWeave.

This section details the common, automated business processes that users and administrators will encounter and manage on a daily basis within the integrated Creatio-InterWeave-Payment Gateway ecosystem. These processes streamline financial operations and enhance customer experience.

3.1. Online Payment Processing

Scenario: A customer receives an invoice generated from Creatio, typically via email or through the Customer Portal, and proceeds to make an online payment.

Process Flow:

1. Creatio generates an invoice or order, serving as the financial record.
2. InterWeave creates a secure payment link or directs the customer to a hosted portal, ensuring secure data handling outside Creatio’s direct storage.
3. The customer submits payment securely via the chosen payment gateway.
4. The Payment Gateway processes the transaction and sends the status back to InterWeave in real-time.
5. InterWeave then updates the corresponding Invoice, Order, or Payment record in Creatio to reflect the status as “Paid” or “Partially Paid” in real-time.
6. Upon receiving the status update, Creatio can automatically trigger subsequent workflows, such as sending a payment confirmation email to the customer, updating the sales pipeline, or notifying the finance department.

• Receiving and Tracking Payments in Creatio: Users should regularly monitor the “Payments” section within Creatio to observe incoming transactions and their updated statuses. This ensures visibility into the revenue stream.
• Generating Secure Payment Links via InterWeave: Understand the process for generating or accessing these secure payment links for customers, which are often initiated directly from within Creatio.
• Monitoring Transaction Status Updates: Verify that Creatio records are updated promptly and accurately, checking for “Paid,” “Partially Paid,” or “Failed” statuses to ensure data integrity.

3.2. Managing Recurring Billing & Subscriptions

Scenario: A customer signs up for a subscription service, with the subscription details managed within Creatio.

Process Flow:

1. Creatio records the comprehensive subscription details, including the chosen plan, billing frequency, and customer information.
2. InterWeave initiates the recurring billing profile with the payment gateway, securely utilizing tokenized card data to avoid storing sensitive information in Creatio.
3. The payment gateway automatically charges the customer on the scheduled recurring basis.
4. InterWeave receives the transaction status for each recurring charge and updates Creatio accordingly, for example, by creating new payment records or updating the subscription status.
5. InterWeave’s Automated Recurring Billing (ARB) engine is designed to handle retry logic for failed payments and manage dunning notifications, automating the follow-up process for overdue payments.

Daily Management Tasks:

• Setting Up and Monitoring Subscription Profiles in Creatio: Ensure that all subscription details are accurately captured in Creatio and correctly linked to the InterWeave recurring billing profiles.
• InterWeave‘s Role in Automated Charges and Dunning: Develop an understanding that InterWeave is responsible for the automated charging process and the subsequent follow-up for failed payments through its dunning capabilities.
• Handling Failed Recurring Payments: Proactively identify failed recurring payments in Creatio (as updated by InterWeave) and initiate manual dunning processes or follow-ups as dictated by company policy.

3.3. Processing Refunds and Cancellations

Scenario: A customer requests a refund for a purchase, or an order is cancelled, necessitating a reversal of payment.

Process Flow:

1. A user initiates a refund or void request directly within Creatio or through a linked financial system.
2. InterWeave securely passes this refund or void request to the payment gateway.
3. The payment gateway processes the refund or void transaction.
4. InterWeave updates the corresponding Creatio record with the refund status and detailed information, ensuring that Creatio reflects the accurate financial state.

Daily Management Tasks:

• Initiating Refunds/Voids in Creatio: Learn and follow the specific Creatio workflow designed to trigger a refund or void transaction.
• Tracking Refund Status via InterWeave: Confirm that the refund status is accurately and promptly reflected in Creatio, as updated by InterWeave, to ensure financial reconciliation.

3.4. Real-time Financial Reporting & Analytics

Scenario: Sales and finance teams require immediate, up-to-the-minute insights into revenue generation and payment success rates to inform strategic decisions.

Process Flow: InterWeave continuously feeds comprehensive payment data, including Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR), Churn, Lifetime Value (LTV), Payment Success Rates, and Decline Analytics, back into Creatio. This continuous data flow enables real-time dashboard updates and robust analytics directly within the CRM environment.

Daily Management Tasks:

• Accessing Payment Data in Creatio Dashboards: Regularly review Creatio dashboards that display financial metrics to gain up-to-date operational insights.
• Key Metrics for Daily Monitoring: Understand the significance of metrics such as MRR, Churn, LTV, Payment Success Rates, and Decline Analytics, and how to interpret them for actionable operational insights.

3.5. Utilizing the InterWeave Customer Self-Service Portal

Scenario: Customers desire the ability to manage their own billing information and payment history independently, reducing the administrative burden on internal teams.

Process Flow: The InterWeave Customer Portal, seamlessly integrated with Creatio data, provides a secure environment where customers can: view and download invoices; update their billing or credit card information; make one-time or recurring payments; and receive automated email notifications and reminders for due payments.

Daily Management Tasks:

• Guiding Customers on Portal Usage: Be prepared to instruct customers on how to access and effectively use the InterWeave Customer Portal for their billing and payment needs.
• Managing Customer Billing Information and Payment History: Understand how customer actions performed within the portal are reflected in Creatio, and how to efficiently assist customers with any portal-related queries or issues.

The automation embedded within these processes fundamentally shifts the daily operational focus from manual data entry to proactive monitoring and exception handling. All processes are described with explicit “Automation” steps , which significantly reduces manual workload and minimizes the potential for human error. Consequently, the primary daily task for users and administrators is no longer to

perform the individual transaction steps, but rather to verify that the automation is functioning as expected and to intervene only when exceptions, such as failed payments or data discrepancies, occur. This demands a shift from routine transactional processing to a focus on monitoring and problem-solving. This highlights the critical need for robust monitoring tools, such as the InterWeave Integration Manager , and clear troubleshooting protocols to manage operations by exception, thereby ensuring operational efficiency and minimizing potential revenue loss from unaddressed issues.

Table 1: Daily Operational Checklist

This checklist provides a structured approach to ensure all critical daily tasks related to payment flow management are consistently addressed, promoting efficiency and accuracy.

Ensuring the integrity and accuracy of payment data is paramount for reliable reporting, seamless operations, and maintaining customer trust. This section outlines critical data management best practices.

Ensuring Data Consistency (Accounts, Contacts, Invoices)

Accurate and up-to-date customer records, including accounts and contacts, within Creatio are fundamental. This information is directly utilized to create and update payment profiles in the payment gateway. Inconsistent or outdated data can lead to payment failures, incorrect billing, or customer dissatisfaction. Daily practice should involve a routine review and maintenance of customer and invoice data in Creatio, ensuring all required fields for payment processing, such as billing address and email, are complete and accurate.

Leveraging Unique Identifiers for Transaction Tracking

The consistent use of unique identifiers, such as Creatio Order or Invoice IDs, is essential for effectively linking transactions across Creatio, InterWeave, and the payment gateway. This practice significantly facilitates seamless reconciliation and streamlines troubleshooting efforts. When investigating any transaction, the recommended daily practice is to always begin with the Creatio Order or Invoice ID and use it as the primary reference to trace the transaction’s journey through InterWeave’s detailed logs and, if necessary, the payment gateway’s records.

4.1. Error Handling and Monitoring Procedures

Proactive error handling and continuous monitoring are critical for maintaining operational stability and minimizing revenue loss.

• Using the InterWeave Integration Manager (IM) Dashboard: The IM dashboard serves as the primary tool for real-time monitoring of integration activities. It provides immediate alerts, detailed transaction logs, and specific error messages. Administrators should incorporate regular checks of the IM dashboard into their daily routine, specifically looking for any red flags, failed transactions, or unusual activity that might indicate underlying issues.
• Configuring and Responding to Automated Alerts: InterWeave allows for the configuration of automated email alerts that notify relevant personnel, such as finance or support teams, about failed transactions or integration issues. Daily practice involves ensuring these alerts are correctly configured to reach the appropriate individuals and responding promptly to any notifications by investigating the root cause of the failure.
• Reprocessing Failed Transactions: InterWeave’s reprocessing capability is a powerful feature that allows administrators to correct underlying issues that caused a transaction failure and then re-attempt the payment without requiring manual re-entry. For failed transactions identified via Creatio or IM alerts, the daily practice is to diagnose the issue (e.g., invalid card details, network glitch), rectify it, and then utilize InterWeave’s reprocessing feature to complete the transaction.

4.2. Daily/Weekly Reconciliation Process

Establishing a consistent process for daily or weekly reconciliation of payments across Creatio, your payment gateway, and your accounting system is crucial. This ensures that all transactions are accurately accounted for and prevents financial discrepancies, significantly aiding auditing processes. Daily practice should involve implementing a routine to compare payment records in Creatio with settlement reports from the payment gateway and corresponding entries in your accounting software, addressing any discrepancies immediately.

Proactive data management and robust error handling extend beyond merely fixing problems; they are about preserving the integrity of financial reporting and ensuring business continuity. The guide highlights “Data Consistency,” “Unique Identifiers,” and comprehensive “Error Handling and Monitoring” , alongside “Real-time Financial Reporting” as an automated process. If data consistency is neglected or errors are not promptly handled, the reliability of “real-time financial reporting” diminishes, which can undermine strategic decision-making based on metrics like MRR and churn. Furthermore, unaddressed errors can lead to lost revenue from failed payments or significant customer dissatisfaction due to incorrect billing. Therefore, daily data management and error handling are critical operational controls that directly influence financial health and customer trust, elevating them from purely technical tasks to strategic business functions. This underscores the necessity for clear ownership and accountability for these daily processes.

Table 3: Key Data Fields for Daily Monitoring

This table identifies the most critical data fields to monitor daily, their purpose, and where to find them, streamlining operational oversight and troubleshooting.

Handling payment data necessitates strict adherence to security and compliance standards, most notably PCI DSS. These are not one-time setup tasks but continuous operational responsibilities.

Maintaining PCI DSS Compliance

InterWeave Smart Solutions is PCI-DSS compliant, which means it securely handles the transmission and temporary storage (tokenization) of sensitive cardholder data. This significantly reduces the PCI DSS scope for your Creatio environment, as Creatio itself does not directly store raw card data.

A critical and absolute rule is to never store raw credit card numbers, CVVs, or full expiration dates directly in Creatio. Instead, the integration utilizes tokenization provided by the payment gateway, where a unique, non-sensitive token replaces the actual card data. This token is then securely stored in Creatio and passed to InterWeave for future transactions. Similarly, the InterWeave Customer Portal is designed to handle card input and storage securely within its own PCI-compliant environment. Daily practice must strictly adhere to this “no direct card storage” rule, and all users must be educated on this policy.

Authentication and Authorization Best Practices for Daily Users

Robust authentication and authorization practices are fundamental to security. This includes using strong, unique credentials for all users involved in the integration. It is also essential to implement OAuth 2.0 for secure API authentication where possible. Furthermore, the principle of least privilege must be rigorously adhered to, granting only the necessary permissions to integration users. Daily practice involves regularly reviewing user permissions in Creatio, particularly for the dedicated integration user , to ensure they align with the least privilege principle. Implementing multi-factor authentication (MFA) where available further enhances security.

Ensuring Data Encryption (TLS/SSL)

All data in transit between Creatio, InterWeave, and the payment gateway must be encrypted using TLS/SSL to protect sensitive information during transmission. Additionally, InterWeave encrypts data at rest, providing another layer of security for stored data. Daily practice includes verifying that any public-facing Creatio portals or custom payment pages have proper and current SSL/TLS certificates installed to ensure secure communication.

Leveraging Audit Trails for Daily Monitoring and Troubleshooting

Maintaining detailed logs of all payment transactions and integration activities is essential for auditing purposes and effective troubleshooting. InterWeave’s Integration Manager (IM) provides comprehensive logging capabilities for these activities. Daily practice should involve regularly reviewing audit trails in both Creatio and the InterWeave IM to track payment activities, identify any unauthorized actions, or pinpoint the precise source of errors.

Additional Security Practices for Daily Operations

If webhooks are utilized for real-time notifications, it is crucial to ensure they are secured through methods such as signed requests or IP whitelisting to prevent unauthorized notifications. Furthermore, understanding and implementing idempotency keys for transaction requests sent to the payment gateway is important. This feature helps prevent duplicate charges in cases of network issues or retries, a capability supported by most modern payment gateways.

Security and compliance are not one-time setup tasks but continuous operational responsibilities, where daily vigilance directly mitigates significant financial and reputational risks. The guide dedicates a full section to “Security and Compliance Best Practices” and frequently mentions PCI DSS compliance , along with technical measures like tokenization, encryption, and audit trails. While these are critical technical requirements for the integration, the

daily operational aspect lies in maintaining these standards. A single lapse, such as storing raw card data, using weak credentials, or failing to monitor audit logs, can compromise the entire compliant environment, potentially leading to data breaches, regulatory fines, and a severe loss of customer trust. The “least privilege” principle is not just an initial setup step but a continuous daily audit consideration. Therefore, daily security practices are not merely a technical checklist but a critical component of risk management. Organizations must cultivate a culture of security awareness among all users and administrators, recognizing that human error is often the weakest link, even within a technically secure system.

This section provides practical guidance for diagnosing and resolving issues that may arise during daily payment flow management. Effective troubleshooting requires a systematic, multi-layered approach that understands the flow of data and responsibility across the integrated systems, moving beyond isolated error messages.

Table 2: Common Error Codes and Troubleshooting Steps

This table provides a quick reference for common error codes encountered during daily operations, along with their likely causes and initial troubleshooting steps.

Identifying Payment Failures (Error Codes and Messages)

When a payment fails to process successfully in Creatio, the initial step is to check the “Payment Status” field and any associated “Error Codes/Messages” that InterWeave has updated in the Creatio record. For more detailed information, administrators should navigate to the InterWeave Integration Manager (IM) dashboard and review the detailed transaction logs. These logs often provide more granular error messages directly from the payment gateway. For cryptic or unfamiliar error codes, it is essential to consult the specific payment gateway’s developer documentation for a full explanation and suggested remedies.

Resolving Data Synchronization Discrepancies

Data synchronization discrepancies might manifest as payments marked “Paid” in the payment gateway but not accurately reflected in Creatio, or as missing customer or invoice data. To diagnose these issues, administrators should examine InterWeave’s data flow logs for any mapping errors or failed synchronization attempts. It is also crucial to verify that Creatio’s custom payment fields are correctly configured and mapped to the corresponding fields in InterWeave. Once the underlying data issue is identified and corrected (e.g., updating an incomplete Creatio record), InterWeave’s reprocessing feature can be utilized to re-attempt the synchronization.

Addressing Recurring Billing Issues

Issues with recurring billing can include failed recurring charges, dunning notifications not being sent, or subscription statuses not updating correctly in Creatio. To diagnose, review the recurring billing profiles within InterWeave and check the payment gateway for the status of the specific recurring charge. Verify if InterWeave’s Automated Recurring Billing (ARB) engine retry logic is functioning as expected. Resolution steps might involve manually triggering a retry if the issue was temporary, or guiding the customer to update their payment method information via the Customer Portal if, for example, their card has expired.

Common InterWeave IM Alerts and Their Resolutions

Administrators should familiarize themselves with the different types of alerts generated by InterWeave, such as API connection issues, data transformation errors, or payment gateway rejections. For each common alert type, a systematic approach to investigation is required. This may involve checking API credentials, verifying network access between InterWeave and other systems, or reviewing data mapping configurations within InterWeave.

When to Engage Support (Creatio, InterWeave, Payment Gateway)

Complex issues often necessitate collaborative troubleshooting involving all three parties. It is important to define clear criteria for when to escalate to each support channel:

• Creatio Support: Engage for issues related to core Creatio functionality, such as Creatio workflow problems, platform bugs, or unexpected behavior within Creatio’s UI.
• InterWeave Support: Contact for integration platform errors, data mapping issues, problems with the ARB engine, or general InterWeave platform malfunctions.
• Payment Gateway Support: Reach out for specific transaction declines, suspected gateway outages, or problems related to API credentials provided by the gateway.

Effective troubleshooting requires a systematic, multi-layered approach that comprehends the flow of data and responsibility across the integrated systems, moving beyond isolated error messages. Troubleshooting involves checking Creatio, the InterWeave Integration Manager, and payment gateway documentation. This indicates that no single system provides a complete picture for complex issues. For instance, a payment failure could originate from incorrect data in Creatio, a mapping error within InterWeave, a network issue preventing InterWeave from reaching the gateway, or a specific decline reason from the payment gateway itself. A proficient troubleshooter must be capable of systematically tracing the error’s origin across these various layers, rather than simply reacting to the first error message encountered. This necessitates a “full-stack” understanding for administrators, requiring them to move beyond their primary domain (e.g., solely Creatio administration) to grasp the interdependencies of the entire ecosystem. This also underscores the importance of clear communication and shared knowledge between different support teams, fostering a collaborative problem-solving environment.

Beyond daily operational tasks, periodic administrative checks and maintenance are crucial for ensuring the long-term stability, security, and optimal performance of the integrated payment system. These proactive measures often prevent daily operational issues from arising.

Monitoring Creatio Permissions for Integration User

The dedicated Creatio integration user must be configured with precisely the “necessary read and write permissions” on all relevant objects, including Contacts, Accounts, Orders, Invoices, Payments, and any custom objects involved in the payment process. Incorrect permissions can lead to data synchronization failures, operational disruptions, or even security vulnerabilities. A critical administrative task is to periodically review the permissions granted to this dedicated integration user in Creatio. This ensures that no unnecessary permissions have been inadvertently granted and that all required permissions remain intact.

Verifying API Credentials and Webhook Configurations

API keys, secret keys, and transaction keys obtained from the payment gateway are “crucial for InterWeave to authenticate and interact with the gateway”. Similarly, correctly configured webhooks are essential for ensuring “real-time updates” from the payment gateway to InterWeave. Administrative tasks should include regularly confirming that the API credentials stored within InterWeave are current and valid. Additionally, periodic checks of webhook configurations on the payment gateway side are necessary to ensure they are correctly pointing to InterWeave’s provided URL and remain active.

Managing Custom Payment Fields in Creatio

Custom fields are often created in Creatio to capture specific payment-related data, such as the Payment Gateway Transaction ID, Payment Status, Card Type, Last 4 Digits of Card, Authorization Code, and Refund ID. These fields are vital for accurate data mapping, reporting, and troubleshooting. A routine administrative task involves periodically reviewing these custom payment fields in Creatio to ensure they align with current business needs and that their data types and properties are appropriate. It is crucial to re-emphasize the absolute rule:

never create fields to store full credit card numbers directly in Creatio.

Regular System Health Checks

Ensuring continuous network access is fundamental: Creatio must be able to communicate with InterWeave’s servers, and InterWeave must be able to access the payment gateway’s APIs, typically over HTTPS/443. Furthermore, for any public-facing Creatio portals or custom payment pages, it is essential to ensure that SSL/TLS certificates are current and valid. Administrators should implement a routine for network connectivity tests and proactive monitoring of SSL/TLS certificate expiry dates, addressing any upcoming expirations well in advance.

Proactive administrative oversight of the integration’s foundational configurations is paramount for preventing systemic failures and ensuring continuous, secure operation. The onboarding guide details prerequisites and setup steps like Creatio permissions, API credentials, and custom fields. These are not “set-it-and-forget-it” items. Permissions can be accidentally altered, API keys can expire or be revoked, webhooks can become misconfigured, and certificates inevitably expire. If these foundational elements are not routinely checked, they will inevitably lead to operational failures that initially appear as “daily issues” but have deeper, administrative roots. This highlights a shift from initial “onboarding” to continuous “operational governance.” A robust daily flow management strategy

must include a schedule for these administrative checks, effectively transitioning from a reactive troubleshooting posture to a proactive maintenance one, thereby minimizing downtime and ensuring the long-term reliability and security of the payment ecosystem.
