FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Short & concrete answers – on technology, data protection, introduction, costs, support and roadmap.

Rolling out PunchCommerce typically takes only a few days to a few weeks, even in complex e‑commerce landscapes.

PunchCommerce supports both OCI and cXML, making it compatible with virtually all common procurement systems.

PunchCommerce can be integrated with existing e‑commerce systems like Shopware, Magento, or custom platforms. We provide ready‑made plugins for Shopware, Magento, and JTL Shop 5; other systems can be integrated quickly via our API.

In PunchCommerce you create the customer as a gateway (cXML) and set the buyer/supplier identity plus a shared secret. You then store these values in the procurement platform. The connection is established automatically via the gateway’s PunchOut URL.

No. PunchCommerce is designed so integrations can be administered without engineering effort. Thanks to the self‑service approach, you can configure new customers, protocols, and mappings yourself.

PunchCommerce centralizes all PunchOut connections in a single gateway. You save development time and maintenance, and avoid errors from manual mappings. New customers can be onboarded in minutes instead of weeks.

Yes. In the Enterprise plan you can receive cXML orders directly via the Order Hub, process them, and forward them to your ERP or shop 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.

The admin interface provides a PunchOut test mode. You can simulate both OCI and cXML connections without accessing your customers’ systems.

Typically a new PunchOut customer can be set up and tested in under 15 minutes. Thanks to the self‑service UI, no external developers are needed.

The Enterprise plan includes technical support, SLA‑backed response times, regular updates, monitoring, and access to new features such as automatic field mapping and Order Hub extensions.

PunchCommerce is used by numerous B2B companies, especially in the industrial, chemical, construction, and logistics sectors—anywhere structured e‑procurement processes are required.
