Integrations
There are three different ways you can integrate your SIS/ERP and SFS. Each integration requires different levels of effort from your institution and has a different frequency of information exchange.
Quickstart Integration
Quickstart integration sets up SFS functionality without needing work from your IT department. Quickstart integration allows you to provide limited SFS functionality such as payment plans, cross border payments, auto-debit, and one time payments.
For billing and payments, quickstart integration requires manual processing by an admin.
For collection management, there is some automated processes, such as using a file to load student accounts.
Batch Integration
Batch integration is when your data is stored in your ERP and moved to SFS in a block. Batch integration can be set up to process at scheduled intervals, you can set up the integration to process hourly, daily, or weekly.
Real-Time Integration using Flywire Connectors
Real-time integration allows seamless data flow and enhanced financial management between the SFS and your institution's SIS/ERP. Real-time integration ensures instant, accurate, and up-to-date payment and payment plan information, benefiting both your institution and your payers.
Real-time integration requires work between your IT department and Flywire to configure the communication (or integration).
Real-time integration uses Flywire connectors to move data between your SIS/ERP and SFS. For technical information about Flywire connectors, see the developer documentation for SFS Connectors.
To view the current integrations for your institution, see View Real-Time Integrations.
