Payment Method Mapping Options in NetSuite Connector

TL;DR

Mapping payment methods in NetSuite Connector ensures proper tracking and integration of payment options from your marketplace or cart. This process aids in managing orders efficiently by matching external payment methods with equivalent options in NetSuite.

What Are Mapping Options?

In NetSuite Connector, mapping payment methods is essential for maintaining clear and accurate financial tracking. By default, when processing orders from an external marketplace, you'll need to map those payment methods to the corresponding payment types available in NetSuite, such as Cash, Visa, and Check. Here are the primary mapping options:

• Do Not Post: As the default setting, this option means that any new payment method recognized by the marketplace will generate an error until mapped in NetSuite. Once you set up the mapping, NetSuite Connector utilizes that configuration for all future orders from that source.
• Not Mapped: This option allows you to exclude the payment method from being reflected on the order in NetSuite. Essentially, this means that if a payment method isn't mapped, it won’t be associated with any transaction in your system.

How to Map Payment Methods

You have two distinct methods for mapping payment methods:

• Mapping from the Payment Mappings Page
• Mapping Payment Methods Directly from an Order

Mapping from the Payment Mappings Page

This method offers a straightforward way to manage multiple payment methods. On the Payment Mappings page, you will see:

• Marketplace or Cart Payment Methods (left column): Displays payment methods available in the marketplace.
• NetSuite Payment Methods (right column): Shows the mapped payment methods from NetSuite.

Steps to Map Payments from the Payment Mappings Page:

1. Log in to app.farapp.com.
2. Choose the relevant connector and account.
3. Navigate to Mappings > Orders to access the Payment Methods page.
4. To add a new payment method, input it in the left column.
5. Use the dropdown menu in the right column to select the corresponding NetSuite payment method to map.
   • If the payment method doesn't appear, refresh the NetSuite payment methods list.
6. Click Save to finalize the mapping; this will now apply to future orders.

Mapping Payment Methods Directly from an Order

If you encounter a payment method on an order that is unmapped, utilize this direct mapping approach. Note: This method is not applicable for Amazon orders.

Steps to Map Payment Methods Directly from an Order:

1. Log in to app.farapp.com.
2. Select the appropriate connector and account.
3. Go to Data Flow > Orders to view the Payment Methods page.
4. Click the Action Menu (pencil icon) next to the order.
5. Choose Edit from the menu.
6. Access the Mapping tab in the Order Details window.
7. From the NetSuite Payment Method dropdown, select the payment method you wish to map.
   • If necessary, refresh the payment methods to see updates.
8. Click Save to apply the mapping to the order as well as all subsequent orders with that payment method.

Who This Affects
