Product update New Shopware integration: link customers directly from PunchCommerce

Initial situation

Previously, the assignment between PunchCommerce and Shopware customers was done manually. The aim was to simplify the process and enable a direct, guided link - without media discontinuity and with clear feedback in the system.

New "Select in shop" button

If the following requirements are met:

• Type = Gateway
• Type of shop = Shopware 6
• Shop URL is configured

the new button "Select in shop " appears automatically next to the field "PunchCommerce uID ".

As long as the shop URL is not stored, the button remains inactive.

Direct jump to the Shopware administration

By clicking on the button, the user is forwarded directly to the Shopware 6 Administration (login required if no active session exists).

There exactly a Shopware customer can be selected and confirmed, which should be linked to the current PunchCommerce customer.

Automatic transfer of the uID

After successful selection:

• the return to PunchCommerce takes place
• the corresponding uID is automatically transferred to the "PunchCommerce uID" field
• the uID is saved permanently (at the latest the next time the data record is saved)

If the selection in Shopware is cancelled, the existing uID remains unchanged.

Clean error handling

Special cases have also been considered:

• Shopware is not accessible
• A valid session or authorisation is missing
• A technical error occurs when returning

In these cases no uID is set and an understandable error message appears.

More convenience and process security

This extension makes the customer link between PunchCommerce and Shopware 6 much more convenient, secure and transparent.

The new function reduces manual intermediate steps, prevents assignment errors and ensures clear system management.
