How it works
From buyer click to purchase order .
Why Gatebold exists
Connecting an Magento / Adobe Commerce e-commerce catalog to an e-procurement B2B system should not be an integration project.
Every PunchOut connection remains a construction site: custom code, significant development and setup time, complex diagnosis and debugging when incidents occur.
Gatebold simplifies every step, in 4 points.
The Gatebold platform centralizes PunchOut connection management without development - cXML and OCI mapping for the various flows is configured in a few clicks in Gatebold, and every transaction is traced with structured error codes to quickly isolate any incident.
-
1 Ready-to-install connector
Compatible with Magento Open Source and Adobe Commerce. One connector to install, no API to consume, no flow to develop.
-
2 Configuration, not integration
Add a PunchOut buyer in a few clicks. No code, no integrator. The Gatebold platform handles the protocol and security.
-
3 Real-time visibility
Every transaction is traced end-to-end. A blocked cart? You see exactly where and why in seconds.
-
4 Security and compliance
Encrypted credentials, complete audit log. Compatible with the requirements of large accounts and procurement departments.
What Gatebold changes
A hosted platform, independent of Magento - secure and autonomous.
-
Platform independence
PunchOut lives in the Gatebold platform, not in a Magento module. Your buyer connections, mappings and history are managed outside the storefront - independent of Magento upgrades and evolutions.
-
Client autonomy
The merchant manages their connections, mappings and transactions from their own portal. No need to access the Magento admin, or mobilize a developer to add a buyer.
-
Multi-buyer without code
30 connected buyers? 30 configurations in the Gatebold platform, each with its own adapted mapping. Not 30 configs buried in the Magento admin.
-
Security and traceability
HMAC-SHA256 on every exchange, encrypted secrets, complete audit trail. Competing modules store the shared secret in plain text in core_config_data.
-
Real-time operational visibility
Every PunchOut transaction is traced: setup request, response, cart transfer, cXML/OCI content, status. Support sees everything in 2 clicks without accessing the server.
-
Time-to-market
Connector installed, credentials entered, one click Register - connected in minutes. Not a multi-week integration project.
-
Team and data in France
French-speaking support, same timezone, data hosted in France. Native GDPR compliance.
-
Interface available in English
The Gatebold portal is available in English and French. Your teams work in their language, without barriers.
