Connect e-procurement systems to Amazon Business.

It’s easy to get more from your existing e-procurement system by connecting it to Amazon Business. Buyers can access the selection and convenience available on Amazon Business while maintaining the compliance, management, and control provided by your existing system.

More than 200 e-procurement systems integrate with Amazon Business. Punchout is typically the first integration tapped by Amazon Business customers, and it can be a prerequisite for additional integrations, like Integrated Search and Punch-in.

Punchout and Punch-in are both ways in which Amazon Business customers can easily shop our catalog of products. The key difference is Punch-in allows you begin to your business purchase on the Amazon Business website before submitting your completed cart to your e-procurement system, while the Punchout purchase process requires you to start the process in your e-procurement system.
