PunchOut PrestaShop – B2B Procurement Connector for ERP and Purchasing Portals
Connect your PrestaShop store to your key accounts' ERPs and purchasing portals (SAP, Coupa, Ariba, Ivalua, etc.) using the PunchOut protocol. Your B2B customers order directly from their own environment, with no manual re-entry, and access a personalized catalog and pricing.
The PunchOut module between PrestaShop and your customers' ERP
Setting up a PunchOut connector on your PrestaShop store lets your B2B customers stay within their own business tool while purchasing directly from you. Here's what the module delivers:
- Authenticated connection from the customer's ERP: from their ERP or purchasing portal, your customers reach your PrestaShop store in one click, already logged in, with no password re-entry.
- Personalized catalog and pricing: each customer only sees the products and commercial terms that apply to them (negotiated prices, discounts, dedicated references).
- Cart returned to the ERP: once the selection is complete, the cart isn't converted into a PrestaShop order — it's automatically sent back to the customer's ERP as a pre-order or purchase requisition, for validation within their own approval workflow.
- cXML or OCI PunchOut flow generation: the module produces a standardized flow compatible with most purchasing platforms on the market.
- Secure authentication: a secure token (SSO or HMAC) is used to guarantee the integrity of every PunchOut session.
Our connector follows PrestaShop coding standards and integrates without altering core tables or native code, keeping it compatible with future version upgrades.
Advanced configuration features
The module is managed directly from the PrestaShop back office, with:
- Per-customer configuration: define pricing rules, product visibility, and cart-return settings for each key account.
- Protocol selection: cXML or OCI PunchOut, depending on the target ERP's requirements.
- PunchOut session tracking: review connection history, transmitted carts, and any flow errors through detailed logs.
- Diagnostic interface: every exchange is logged for reliable long-term monitoring.
