Buyer ecosystem
Start with the system your customer uses.
These systems are named in the product's supported procurement ecosystem. The exact connection still depends on that buyer's configuration, protocol and testing requirements.
Connection planning
What to confirm for a buyer connection.
A platform name alone does not define the implementation. The buyer and supplier need to agree on the connection details.
Protocol
Catalog access
Choose the supplier Shopify store and the products or collections available to that buyer.
Order flow
Confirm how the cart returns for approval and how the approved PO reaches PunchOut Central.
Testing
Test session launch, cart return and purchase-order handling with the buyer before go-live.
Keep the roles clear
The procurement system belongs to the buyer.
The buyer starts PunchOut and approves the cart in procurement. Shopify remains the supplier storefront. PunchOut Central connects the session, cart, approved PO, store order and invoice activity.
