Connect cXML and Intershop

Connecting cXML and Intershop for a company could allow for the automated exchange of procurement documents and order data between the procurement platform and the e-commerce system. This could reduce manual data entry, support more accurate transaction processing, and help ensure that purchasing information is consistently reflected in both environments.

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

Why connect cXML and Intershop?

A company operating both cXML and Intershop could benefit from connecting these systems to enable more efficient and reliable data exchange. Without such a connection, staff may be required to manually re-enter information from one platform into the other, increasing the risk of errors, duplications, and inconsistent records. Over time, this could result in discrepancies between the two systems, with business decisions potentially being made based on outdated or mismatched data. This situation can also consume valuable employee time, diverting attention from higher-value activities. If a connection between cXML and Intershop were established, it could support the exchange of data relevant to procurement, order management, and product information, as these are common domains for both systems. For instance, purchase orders, invoices, product catalogs, and shipment notifications could be candidates for automated transfer, reducing manual effort and helping to keep both systems aligned. The specific data that could be exchanged would depend on the capabilities and data structures of each system. Ultimately, what can be exchanged between cXML and Intershop depends on the data each system exposes through its API, and this must be determined for each individual case.

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 Intershop 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.
