Clarity Connect integration
PayTrace Integration
Post PayTrace card and ACH payments to the invoices they pay, and keep refunds and settled batches in step with your ERP.
What PayTrace integration covers
PayTrace is a payment gateway aimed at B2B merchants. North American Bancard bought it in 2022 and renamed itself North in August 2024, so the product is now sold as PayTrace by North.
PayTrace processes card and ACH payments, keeps saved payment methods as customer profiles in its vault and accepts Level 2 and Level 3 data for commercial cards. Your ERP holds the invoices those payments settle. Clarity Connect links the two, so each approved payment, refund and settled batch is recorded against the right customer and invoice.

How PayTrace data reaches your systems
PayTrace's JSON API
PayTrace documents a REST-style JSON API, now at version 3, with OAuth 2.0 access tokens. It covers sales, authorizations (which must be captured within 20 days), captures, voids, refunds of settled transactions and Trace ACH. Connect stores each PayTrace transaction ID on the invoice or order it pays.
Card data stays inside PayTrace
PayTrace's Protect.js shows hosted payment fields in an iframe and returns a one-time token, so card numbers don't pass through your servers. Saved cards and bank accounts live as customer profiles in PayTrace's vault; the ERP keeps only the profile reference.
Level 2 and 3 data before the batch settles
PayTrace's Enhanced Data endpoint takes Level 2 and Level 3 detail for Visa and Mastercard in one request, but only on sales or captures that haven't settled yet. Connect sends the ERP's line items in that window, then reads PayTrace's batch and transaction exports after settlement for posting.

PayTrace and Clarity Payment Hub
To let customers pay ERP invoices through PayTrace, Clarity Payment Hub is Clarity's packaged product, built on Clarity Connect. You keep your PayTrace merchant account, rates and settings, Clarity adds no transaction markup, and saved payment methods are tokenized at PayTrace rather than stored by Clarity.
How Clarity Connect runs it
Clarity Connect is Clarity's integration platform. It keeps a persistent, two-way link between PayTrace and your ERP or store and runs each flow as a task, either straight away or on a timetable, such as payments as they're approved and settled batches overnight. It runs in the cloud or behind your firewall next to an on-premises ERP. It's the platform behind more than 3,000 Clarity integrations.
Discovery
A Clarity business analyst documents the data fields and workflows each system can share and which ones you need.
Tasks and mapping
Each flow becomes a Connect task, such as orders to the ERP or stock to the store, set to run in real time or on a schedule.
Testing
Orders and updates are run end to end, including the return trip of statuses back to the customer-facing system.
Live, with a dashboard
Queues and scheduled tasks show in Connect's Hangfire dashboard. A job whose target is offline is retried 10 times, every 30 minutes, and can be re-queued once the cause is fixed.
Clarity Connect is sold as a SaaS subscription at $599 a month or as a one-time license at $15,000 with no ongoing fees, and larger projects are priced to scope. See pricing.
Questions
Who owns PayTrace now?
North, the company formerly called North American Bancard. It acquired PayTrace in 2022, adopted the North name in August 2024 and sells the gateway as PayTrace by North.
Does Clarity keep our customers' card or bank details?
No. They're captured in PayTrace's hosted fields and saved in PayTrace's vault. Connect moves transaction IDs, amounts and profile references.
Can Level 3 data go through PayTrace?
Yes, for Visa and Mastercard, through PayTrace's Enhanced Data endpoint. It has to be sent before the transaction settles, so Connect sends the ERP's line items at the time of the sale or capture.
How is Clarity Connect priced?
SaaS at $599 a month, or a $15,000 one-time license with no ongoing fees; anything larger is quoted to scope. See pricing.
