Batch Reconciliation of Zelle Payments via Plaid
We want to:
1.Detect Zelle payments from customers.
2.Reconcile them with POS orders.
3.Run batch jobs to update payment status (paid/unpaid).
4.Notify the billing desk manager automatically.
System Architecture Overview:
1. Customer Pays via Zelle
Payment sent to your business phone/email registered with Zelle.
Appears in your bank account feed once posted.
2. Bank Account Connected to Plaid
Use Plaid Link to connect your business bank account.
Get access_token for API calls.
3. Fetch Transactions Using /transactions/sync
Run every 15–30 minutes or in scheduled batches.
Filter for Zelle payments:
js
tx.name.toLowerCase().includes('zelle')
4. Match Zelle Payment to POS Order
Match by: Amount
Timestamp (±15 min)
Optional: customer name or memo
5. Batch Reconciliation Logic
Run a batch job every few hours or nightly (e.g., 11 PM–5 AM).
Re-check unmatched POS orders.
If Zelle payment now appears, mark as paid.
6. Webhook Integration (Optional)
Use Plaid’s TRANSACTIONS_UPDATED webhook for near real-time updates.
Trigger reconciliation immediately when new transactions post.
7. Manager Notification
Send alerts via:
Email (Nodemailer)
SMS (Twilio)
Slack/WhatsApp (Webhook)
Example: Batch Flow
Time Action POS Status
12:15 PM Customer pays via Zelle awaiting_payment
12:30 PM Plaid fetches — no Zelle yet awaiting_payment
1:00 PM Zelle posts to bank, Plaid fetches itpaid
1:01 PM POS updates order, sends alert Done
Tips for Implementation:>Use a cron job or Node.js scheduler (e.g., node-cron) for batch runs.>Store unmatched orders in a database with timestamps.>Use a retry window (e.g., 24 hours) before marking as permanently unpaid.>Log all reconciliation attempts for auditability.
I have got the knowledge to integrate POS service in the AFC website and from the reference of evergreenfarmsusa website I got the pages what to create in the AFC website and for that 2 hours I have invested and after 2 hours we have went for team lunch and 2 hours I have spent for quantum computing project and research on the papers of quantum computing which was told by HR sir.

1. Install node-cron
bash
npm install node-cron
2. Define Cron Schedule (4 Times Daily)
Time (IST) Purpose
9:00 AM Morning batch
1:00 PM Midday batch
5:00 PM Evening batch
11:00 PM Night batch (post-bank)
js
const cron = require('node-cron');
const reconcileZellePayments = require('./reconcileZelle');
cron.schedule('0 9 * * *', () => reconcileZellePayments('9AM'));
cron.schedule('0 13 * * *', () => reconcileZellePayments('1PM'));
cron.schedule('0 17 * * *', () => reconcileZellePayments('5PM'));
cron.schedule('0 23 * * *', () => reconcileZellePayments('11PM'));
3. reconcileZelle.js Logic Overview
js
const { getTransactions } = require('./plaidClient');
const { getPendingOrders, updateOrderStatus, notifyManager } = require('./posUtils');
async function reconcileZellePayments(batchLabel) {
console.log(`Running Zelle reconciliation batch: ${batchLabel}`);
const transactions = await getTransactions(); // Plaid /transactions/sync
const zelleTx = transactions.filter(tx => tx.name.toLowerCase().includes('zelle'));
const pendingOrders = await getPendingOrders();
for (const order of pendingOrders) {
const match = zelleTx.find(tx =>
Math.abs(new Date(tx.date) - new Date(order.timestamp)) < 15 * 60 * 1000 &&
tx.amount === order.amount
);
if (match) {
await updateOrderStatus(order.id, 'paid');
await notifyManager(order.id, match.date);
}
}
}
module.exports = reconcileZellePayments;
4. Webhook Integration (Optional)
Set up a webhook endpoint to listen for TRANSACTIONS_UPDATED.
Trigger reconcileZellePayments() immediately when new data arrives.
5. Notification Module
Use Nodemailer, Twilio, or Slack API to alert your billing desk manager:
js
function notifyManager(orderId, paymentTime) {
sendEmail({
to: 'manager@evergreenfarms.com',
subject: 'Zelle Payment Received',
body: `Order #${orderId} was paid via Zelle at ${paymentTime}.`
});
}
Summary
Component Tool/Method
Scheduler node-cron
API Fetch Plaid /transactions/sync
Matching Logic Amount + Timestamp
Notification Email/SMS/Slack
Retry Window 24 hours
Would you like me to generate the full Node.js module with database hooks and webhook listener next?
