With the activation of the Punch Out, you will notice some changes in the information displayed during your order. Please read the article below to discover what will change with Astore Shop's Punch Out:
Punch Out Cart
Unlike your Astore Shop cart (when ordering products offered on Astore Shop), your Punch Out cart will have an expiration time. Since Astore Shop does not have visibility into the suppliers' stock levels when using Punch Out, your Punch Out cart will expire after 60 minutes. This will prevent you from placing an order when one of the selected products is out of stock.
Also, if you log out of your session, the items in the cart will be removed.
Delivery Date, Delivery Fees, Minimum Quantity
As Astore Shop does not manage Punch Out orders from start to finish, certain information may not be displayed when finalizing your order in Astore Shop, such as delivery dates, delivery fees, or minimum quantities.
This information is available directly on the supplier's website and will also be provided by the supplier after the order is placed.
Product Search and Favorite list
Please note that the products available on the supplier's site via the Punch Out do not appear in the product list when you perform a product search directly in Astore Shop.
The same applies to the favorite list; the products available via the Punch Out are not displayed in the favorite lists. Products that are not "hosted" directly on Astore Shop do not show up when using the Astore Shop search engine, as there is no technical link between the Astore Shop search engine and the supplier's webshop catalog.
To view the list of products from a Punch Out supplier, please click the "Access the Supplier's Extended Catalog" button.
Deactivation of the Astore Shop Catalog
As the Punch Out allows you to select all the references you wish to order from a supplier directly from the supplier's website, the need for a catalog in Astore Shop (often less comprehensive) is less relevant. Therefore, the Astore Shop catalogs of suppliers using Punch Out will be progressively deactivated.
