eCommerce Provider Certification

Reshare’s channel management solution, Distribution Relationship Management® (DRM), connects to virtually any eCommerce software operating in a standards-based environment on any operating system through the use of standards based Web Services. It is essential for eCommerce providers to become Certified before commencing a project that utilizes our solution. Connectivity to our solution is simple but it is the sole responsibility of the eCommerce software provider.

Benefits of Certification:

1 Gain the ability to unequivocally assure the client your software will operate with ours
2 A complete understanding of our solution and how it integrates with your software assures you a high degree of professionalism with the client.
3 Upon Certification, Reshare is in a position to recommend you to our clients, the vast majority of whom do not yet have eCommerce capabilities.

To become Certified, you will first need to create a live connection between DRM Software-as-a-Service and your shopping cart. Actual transactions must occur to demonstrate your capabilities. You will only be Certified for the cart type and platform you test and acknowledge that if your technologies or platform change in the future, you are responsible for maintaining connectivity with our software.

There are three service operations that standard DRM requires carts to consume. DRM is the service provider and the cart is the consumer in every case. All you need to consume our services are the WSDLs, however we also offer some helpful tips and techniques which can be found, along with other important details, by clicking here.

For testing and certification purposes, Reshare has created a “Sandbox” environment for you to test against. Below is the required information for testing:
