A Guide to Punchout Stores

A punchout store allows you to offer end users the SAGE storefront e-commerce experience while integrating carts directly into their third-party procurement system. Punchout stores eliminate the need for manual data entry, reduce errors in the procurement process, and offer customization options made exclusively for your client, providing more cart options than a standard online store.

Once integrated, the punchout store appears on the client’s intranet as an external catalog with items for purchase. From there, users can browse and add items to the cart, just like a standard online store, but when it’s time to check out, the system “punches out” to the supplier’s external catalog, completing the transaction there. Our punchout stores work with several procurement system providers, including Ariba, Coupa, and Jaggaer (formerly SciQuest), WallMedien, Vroozi, Unimarket, Oracle, Workday, and more. Item fees on showroom items, such as setup fees and item upcharges, are sent from SAGE. Item-level fees for PromoSearch items are not included on the SAGE side. Cart-level fees, such as shipping and tax charges are added after checking out, so they are applied within the punchout system’s cart. There are two standard types of punchouts – level 1 punchouts and level 2 punchouts. The difference between these two has to do with how the product catalog integrates with the site. SAGE supports level 1 punchouts, which means that we host the product catalog and push the submitted carts to the e-procurement system. Once your storefront is complete, the punchout integration will be done within 2 business days. Please note that the punchout company and the end user will have a testing period before releasing it to their employees. Each product is different - from t-shirts to tumblers to custom die-struck enamel pins! We also know that each product may require unique pricing and upcharges - so you can customize and adapt the pricing structure for each project.
