A punchout catalog integration connects your ecommerce store directly to your customer’s procurement system, so their buyers shop your live catalog and return a cart into their own approval workflow. We build punchout catalog integration on both major protocols. We have delivered Level 1 and Level 2 punchout on nopCommerce and AbleCommerce, connected to SAP Ariba, Coupa, and Oracle Supplier Network.
Southland is a family-owned distributor of mortuary, medical, education, and forensic science supplies. Their institutional buyers shop the catalog from inside their own procurement platform and send the cart back for approval, while card customers check out the ordinary way. We built the store and have supported it since 2019.
It depends on what your customer is buying through. cXML is the Ariba-originated standard used by SAP Ariba, Coupa, Jaggaer, and Oracle Supplier Network. OCI is SAP’s Open Catalog Interface, used where the buyer punches out from SAP ERP itself rather than through a separate procurement network.
The setup handshake, the session parameters, and the cart return format all differ between the two, and a catalog built for one will not answer the other. We have delivered both.
We have also delivered Level 1 and Level 2 punchout, plus cXML invoicing, on nopCommerce and AbleCommerce.
