Just Four Phases to International Ecommerce

The Pitney Bowes On-boarding Process consists of four phases: Solution Design, Integration, Certification and Launch. The On-Boarding Process is designed for use with all of our solution offerings from Global Checkout to Address Validation to Insurance.

In each step of the process, Pitney Bowes works with your team to set objectives, define a clear task list and creating an implementation schedule to ensure a seamless process. At a high level, the PB On-Boarding Process inludes the following:

Step 1 - Solution Design. The first step in the PB Ecommerce On-Boarding Process centers on the upcoming interactions between you and PB's Ecommerce Professional Services group. The Professional Services team will work with you to identify the final integration solution, create your account and establish connections between environments.

Step 2 - Integration. Integrating PB's Ecommerce Solutions with your systems can encompass various functional areas, such as: catalog, checkout, fulfillment and customer service. Each functional area is supported by detailed integration directions on PB's wiki site. Integration is now even easier with our pre-built ClearPath extensions into the following platforms: Demandware, Oracle|ATG, ShopVisible, NetSuite and Magneto.

Step 3 - Certification. The certification phase focuses on testing your integration efforts in PB's test environment. The PB Ecommerce Professional Services team will work hang in hang with your technical team to ensure your site passes all required test cases.

Step 4 - Launch. Upon passing the certification phase, you'll be ready to go live in a phased approach which usually consists of final API testing, parcel testing, soft launch and ultimately full launch.
