INSIDE THE ENGINE

Step-by-step operational pipeline

Map Shopify orders, refunds and tax fields to Cygnet payloads with pre-submission validation, clear rejection reasons and safe idempotent retries.

Map legal entities, tax codes & B2B fields

Deliverable: Verified Cygnet Field Mapping Spec

Align Shopify store entities, tax rates, HS codes, discounts and buyer registration metafields with your Cygnet contract schema.

Pre-validate invoices & credit notes

Deliverable: Pre-Flight Validation Log

Run strict schema and tax-math checks before calling Cygnet, catching missing buyer tax IDs or rounding discrepancies early.

Submit with idempotent retry protection

Deliverable: Acknowledgement & IRN/Reference Receipt

Test submissions in the authorized sandbox using provider-supported authentication, document references and retry controls. Confirm duplicate handling before production onboarding.

Manage exceptions in finance queue

Deliverable: Finance Exception & Audit Ledger

Surface rejected documents with plain-English remediation steps so finance can correct and re-queue without developer help.

DATA FLOW & SAFETY ARCHITECTURE

Read-first setup and agreed change controls

1. Read-First Input

Country scope, legal entity count, B2B/B2C mix, existing Cygnet setup, invoice issuer details and representative invoice/credit-note payloads.

2. Rule & Guardrail Engine

Each merchant requires its own Cygnet production contract and credentials. Provider fees are separate. Integration starts only after written provider permission, sandbox access and supported workflows are confirmed. Production requires merchant-specific credentials and an agreed invoice issuer.

3. Concierge Scope

Provider-access assessment first, then agreed invoice and credit-note mappings tested in an authorized sandbox. Production onboarding follows confirmed integration rights, supported workflows and support responsibilities.
