Connect cXML and CommerceTools

Connecting cXML and CommerceTools for a company could enable the transfer of procurement-related documents, such as purchase orders and invoices, between systems. This connection could support automated data exchange, reduce manual entry, and help ensure consistency in transaction records across procurement and commerce operations.

You can build this integration on the System2System platform. We design the connection between cXML and CommerceTools around the way you work — not as an off-the-shelf connector, but to fit your systems.

Why connect cXML and CommerceTools?

A company operating both cXML and CommerceTools could benefit from enabling data exchange between the two systems. This connection could help ensure that information such as orders, invoices, and product data is consistent and up-to-date across both platforms. Without such a connection, staff may need to manually enter the same data into each system, increasing the risk of errors and consuming valuable time. Disconnected systems could also lead to records diverging over time, so decisions might be based on outdated or incomplete information. For example, if product details or pricing are updated in one system but not the other, customers or internal users could encounter conflicting data. Common types of data that could be exchanged between a procurement protocol like cXML and a commerce platform such as CommerceTools include purchase orders, invoices, product catalogs, and inventory levels. The specific data that can be exchanged depends on what each system exposes through its API, and is determined per situation.

How System2System builds an integration

Connectors

We connect to each system through the interface it offers — an API, a database, a file exchange or a webhook — and handle authentication, rate limits and retries.

Mapping

Fields rarely line up one to one. We map and transform the data so both systems receive it in the shape they expect.

Workflow

We define what triggers an exchange, in which direction data flows and which system takes precedence when the two disagree.

Monitoring

Every exchange is logged. Failures are flagged and can be replayed, so nothing disappears without anyone noticing.

What can actually be exchanged?

That depends on what cXML and CommerceTools make available through their APIs, on the licences and modules in use, and on the version each system runs. Which records are synchronised, in which direction and how often, is something we determine together before any work starts.

We are happy to look at your specific situation and tell you what is feasible — including when the answer is that it is not.
