PunchCommerce is a central gateway for PunchOut and e‑procurement integrations. It connects your online store to purchasing platforms such as SAP Ariba, SAP S/4HANA, Coupa, Jaggaer, Mercateo, and many more — with no engineering effort.
PunchCommerce is built for suppliers who need to offer PunchOut or cXML interfaces to their customers. It works for small and mid‑size businesses with a few PunchOut customers as well as enterprises with complex e‑commerce landscapes.
PunchCommerce supports OCI, cXML and IDS-Connect and is compatible with virtually all common procurement systems.
IDS Connect 2.5 is an industry standard by DG Haustechnik for communication between trade software and wholesale web shops in the plumbing, heating and climate (SHK) industry. PunchCommerce supports the actions receive shopping cart (WKE), send shopping cart (WKS), article deep link (ADL) and article search (AS).
Yes. PunchCommerce is compatible with all software solutions that support the IDS Connect standard in version 2.5. Configuration uses the same no-code interface as OCI and cXML — including custom field mappings and transformations.
The Business plan is for suppliers with a handful of connections. The Enterprise plan provides a full gateway with an Order Hub, mapping tools, automations, user management, and support for complex multi-customer and multi-tenant scenarios.
PunchCommerce can be integrated with existing e‑commerce systems such as Shopware, Magento, or custom platforms. We offer ready‑made plugins for Shopware, Magento, and JTL Shop 5; other systems can connect via our well‑documented API.
No. PunchCommerce is designed so integrations can be administered without technical effort. With the self‑service approach you can configure new customers, protocols, and mappings yourself.
A PunchOut is a direct connection between a customer’s procurement system and your online store. The buyer opens your store from their ERP, adds products to the cart, and transfers the order back to their system — without duplicate data entry.
PunchCommerce centralizes all PunchOut connections in a single gateway. You save engineering time and maintenance effort and avoid errors caused by manual mappings. New customers can be onboarded in minutes instead of days.
Yes. In the Enterprise plan you can receive cXML orders directly via the Order Hub, process them, and forward them to your ERP or store system.
PunchCommerce uses encrypted HTTPS connections and validates every session ID and authentication against current security standards. Access credentials are never stored in plain text.
Yes. PunchCommerce is multi‑tenant capable. You can connect any number of customers with individual protocols, credentials, and configurations.
The admin interface provides a PunchOut test mode. This lets you simulate connections without accessing your customers’ systems.
Typically, a new PunchOut customer can be configured and tested in under 30 minutes. Thanks to the self‑service UI, no external developers are required.
Unlike simple plugins, PunchCommerce is a standalone platform with a gateway architecture. It enables centralized management, logging, monitoring, and the integration of multiple protocols and systems at the same time.
PunchCommerce is used by numerous B2B companies, especially in industries such as manufacturing, chemicals, construction, and logistics — anywhere structured e‑procurement processes are required.
