VARStreet PunchOut Compatibility with Vinimaya
Vinimaya acts as a procurement search and routing layer, helping buyers discover approved supplier content across multiple procurement systems. VARStreet enables suppliers to support PunchOut sessions initiated through Vinimaya by hosting a PunchOut-ready catalog that buyers can access when routed from the Vinimaya interface.
When a buyer selects a supplier through Vinimaya, the PunchOut session is initiated to the supplier’s VARStreet-powered store. Shoppers browse the catalog externally and return their cart to the buyer’s underlying ERP or eProcurement system, where requisition approval and purchase order creation take place. VARStreet operates on the supplier side, ensuring catalog compatibility and reliable cart return for Vinimaya-routed PunchOut flows without altering buyer procurement controls.

About VARStreet PunchOut Compatibility with Vinimaya
Vinimaya functions as a supplier discovery and routing layer that helps buyers locate approved supplier content across connected procurement systems. When a buyer selects a supplier through Vinimaya, the PunchOut session is routed to the supplier’s external catalog.
VARStreet supports these Vinimaya-initiated PunchOut requests by hosting a PunchOut-enabled supplier catalog. Buyers are redirected from Vinimaya to the VARStreet-powered store, where they browse approved items and build a shopping cart. The completed cart is then returned to the buyer’s underlying ERP or eProcurement system, where requisition review, approvals, and purchase order creation are handled.
VARStreet’s role is to ensure reliable catalog access, accurate cart transfer, and compatibility with Vinimaya-routed PunchOut flows. At the same time, procurement controls, approvals, and compliance remain fully governed by the buyer’s existing system.
How It Works
Login
The buyer accesses Vinimaya and starts a controlled purchasing session, using their connected ERP or eProcurement system to navigate only approved suppliers and catalogs.
PunchOut to VARStreet
From Vinimaya, the buyer is securely redirected to the supplier’s VARStreet PunchOut catalog, where customer-specific pricing, products, and business rules are automatically applied.
Cart Creation
Within the VARStreet store, the buyer selects required products based on current pricing and availability, and builds a shopping cart aligned with their internal purchasing guidelines.
Cart Return
The completed cart is returned to the buyer’s ERP or eProcurement system via Vinimaya, where line items and costs are mapped back into the requisition workflow.
Approval Workflow
Requisition reviews and approvals are completed within the buyer’s ERP or procurement platform, in accordance with the organization’s configured policies and authorization rules.
Purchase Order
The approved purchase order is routed from the ERP to VARStreet using the customer’s chosen method (email, integrated channel, or PunchOut), and the supplier then completes fulfillment and, where required, sends invoices back through the same configured workflow.
