This service description sets out the specific conditions and requirements for the provision and use of a BusinessShop, offered by Unite, specifically by the Unite local entity as listed here. These provisions apply to all suppliers wishing to operate their BusinessShop on Unite.
A BusinessShop is a product for suppliers that facilitates the visibility and accessibility of their product catalogue to potential buyers throughout the Unite Network. Buyers have the ability to activate a supplier’s BusinessShop, thereby gaining seamless access to the supplier’s product range within their purchasing environment. Through the activation of a supplier’s BusinessShop, buyers express their preference for that specific supplier and can establish a direct and personalised connection within the Unite environment.
1. Catalogue requirements
The supplier commits to providing Unite with an online-capable catalogue in a data format suitable for the technical environment of Unite (either Unite-XML or Unite-CSV). This includes the provision of all relevant product data, including categorisation, photos, data sheets, information on delivery times and stock levels. The supplier confirms that the products offered in the catalogue comply with applicable legal requirements and the specific provisions of Unite. For the integration of other data formats, Unite offers a separate transformation service.
Unite can provide technical support and consultation for setting up the BusinessShop and its underlying catalogue, as well as interfaces.
2. Activation
The activation of BusinessShops is the customer’s decision. The supplier has the choice between manual or automatic activation of BusinessShops for customer requests. For manual activations, access for the customer depends on the supplier’s confirmation. Only after the BusinessShop has been activated can transactions be processed through it.
3. Commissionaire Model
The Commissionaire Model is a service in which transactions are conducted through a commissionaire. The Commissionaire Model is both a Single Debtor Model for sellers and a Single Creditor Model for customers. Sellers receive payments from a single source, while customers can bundle multiple providers as a single creditor in their accounts.

Order digitisation
Receive all your orders and related information from Unite in a uniform electronic process (by email or HTTPS) and in a standardised digital format (an openTRANS 1.0 attachment). For an additional fee, Unite also supports other predefined formats and interfaces.
E-invoicing
Unite sends electronic invoices to your customers, taking into account customers’ and e-procurement systems’ delivery and format requirements, as well as country-specific rules.
Payment processing

Single Creditor
Your customers only need to maintain one creditor in their system, regardless of the number of suppliers they use on Unite. Unite takes over invoicing and payment processing in its own name.

As a single debtor, Unite takes charge of debtor management of your various customers and standardises invoicing and payment processes. You send all your invoices digitally to Unite and receive all your payments from the commissionaire.
Credit guarantee
Unite performs credit checks on customers and guarantees they are creditworthy up to a specific limit.
Procedure and customer service
You organise the delivery of goods directly to customers. You’re responsible for dealing with customers’ enquiries and complaints individually.
