About this plugin
Punchr Lite lets you connect an external procurement system (PunchOut / cXML) to a WooCommerce store.
Punchr Lite is intended for evaluation and validation of the PunchOut flow.
It is not intended for production use. Production usage requires Punchr Pro.
It implements the essential PunchOut flow:
- The procurement system sends a PunchOutSetupRequest (cXML) to your WooCommerce site.
- Punchr Lite authenticates the request using HTTP Basic Authentication (Token / Secret).
- Punchr Lite creates a short-lived PunchOut session and returns a PunchOutSetupResponse with a StartPage URL.
- The user is redirected to your WooCommerce shop in PunchOut mode (checkout is blocked).
- When the user clicks “Return to Procurement”, Punchr Lite sends a PunchOutOrderMessage (cXML) back to the procurement system.
This plugin is designed for B2B merchants who need a simple, ERP-friendly PunchOut bridge with minimal configuration.
