Product information and master data
Stibo Systems STEP
Products are read below a node, an object type or by a search condition, per context — per language, say — in the working or the approved state. They come out with categories, product relations and images as Commerce Bundle products and from there go into every shop; a classification hierarchy becomes the category tree.
In the other direction, products are created and changed from the ERP or supplier data. Large volumes go through STEP's import and export configurations. STEP is connected on your own servers as well as as SaaS from Stibo.
Only the mapped attributes are written — all others stay in STEP as they are.

Building blocks
Seven building blocks for Stibo Systems STEP
- Read productsRead
Reads products below a node, an object type or by a search condition, per context and in the working or the approved state — as Commerce Bundle products with categories, product relations and images. A mapping table sets which attribute fills which product field.
- Read classificationsRead
Reads a classification hierarchy as the category tree.
- Read dataRead
Reads supplier, customer or other master data in STEP's own form.
- Write productsWrite
Creates or changes products in STEP from the ERP or supplier data, only the mapped attributes, with approval if you wish.
- Start importWrite
Hands a file, such as STEPXML, to one of STEP's import configurations — for large volumes.
- Start exportRead
Starts one of STEP's export configurations and fetches its file — including the changes since the last run that the export selects.
- Free request
For everything there is no ready-made building block for: a request to the API, with the stored credentials.
In practice
Two processes with Stibo Systems STEP
Product data from STEP into the shop
STEP holds the products; the shop shows the approved state.
- Triggerschedule
- Readthe classification hierarchy as the category tree
- Readproducts from STEP, per language, in the approved state
- WriteShopware 6, Shopify or another shop
One mapping onto the Commerce Bundle; a second shop is one more target building block.
Master data into STEP
New products are created in the ERP or arrive with a supplier's data.
- Triggerschedule
- Readarticles from the ERP or supplier data
- Writeproducts into STEP, only the mapped attributes, with approval if you wish
- Large volumesas a file to one of STEP's imports
Attributes without a mapping stay in STEP as they are.
